Simio Teaching / Educator Resources

Our instructor resources support educators without a working knowledge of simulation software, as well as educators who have extensive simulation knowledge outside the Simio Software. We recommend that educators should take some time to study these resources to grasp the extensive and rich intelligent object-based features Simio Software has to offer.

Simio Academic Resources are also designed to help instructors create optimized course work, laboratory assignments and case studies for students. With Simio Academic Resources, you can eliminate the complexities and difficulties many instructors struggle with when teaching simulation modeling and scheduling to students and get up to speed teaching much faster than with other products.

Teaching resources are available to registered instructors.  For more information, contact us at [email protected].  If you already have an Academic Grant/License, please include your Grant Identifier (AG-xxxxxxxx-xxsxx) or Grant Award ID (AGR-xxxxxxxx-xxxxx) with your message.
