With the Simio academic license, you can easily plan and execute laboratory coursework and get everyone involved with the learning process.
Simio Academic Software provides the supporting features and tools needed to teach discrete, continuous and agent-based simulation, including their nuances, to students. The software integrates 3D modeling, the use of 3D models and animation to ensure simulation concepts and results are easily understood by first-time users. The interactive capabilities of Simio 3D models and animations can also be the catalyst you need to captivate and keep your students engaged when teaching the technical aspects of simulation.
Simio’s New Academic Case Study Program
Our new Academic Case Study Program is a re-imagining of the student competition but with a specific goal of helping participants with their understanding and application of modeling. The Academic Case Study Program is a semi-annual release of instructional material formulated around an assignment, with teaching materials provided to support students in their investigation, as well as suggested solutions for the assignment. The program is offered in the Fall and Spring of each academic year, and students have online access to course materials throughout the year.
