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.

Each case includes a problem statement and problem data that are available to anybody.  For those registered and verified instructors, we also provide teaching materials and solution recommendations. In addition to the case studies, we also have an archive of the previous Student Competitions. These also provide faculty members with opportunities for developing their own case studies.
