Introduction to Simio and Simulation

This one day course provides a fast start to using Simio to effectively solve real problems. It starts with a brief overview of simulation technology and appropriate use, and the Simio modeling framework. Then the Simio Standard Library is used to solve a variety of problems exploring the fixed and dynamic objects, and the various ways entities move through the model and interact with other objects. It then overviews innovative features to work with model data and ends with interpretation of simulation results.

This course is appropriate for all audiences and is recommended for those who may use simulation infrequently, or who desire a lighter command of simulation technology. In particular the early sessions of the course are appropriate for those who manage or work with simulationists.

Introduction to Simio Workshop

This one day course provides a fast start to using Simio for people already familiar with simulation. We start with a brief overview of the Simio modeling framework to learn what makes Simio unique. Then we use the Simio Standard Library to solve a variety of problems -- exploring the ease-of-use and power of intelligent objects. It then overviews innovative features to work with model data and interpret simulation results.

This course is appropriate only for technical people with previous simulation background. Knowledge of simulation basics, statistical issues, and conducting simulation projects is assumed and these will not be covered in the course.

Simio Standard Training

This four-day training session starts with the same material covered in the Introduction to Simio and Simulation course. Significant time will be spent on extending model logic with add-on processes and building object definitions. It will add extra depth to the previously covered topics of working with model data and interpreting simulation results. It will end with a discussion of how to ensure the success of your simulation projects. This course is often supplemented with topics of special interest to the attendees and/or project jump-start advice.

This course is recommended for anyone who is interested in in developing a well-rounded competency in simulation and Simio.

Accelerated Simio Training for Practitioners

This two- to three-day course is similar to the Simio Standard Training, but will focus on the Simio product itself, and will not cover general simulation topics like appropriate use of simulation, simulation benefits, statistical analysis, and project success skills. It covers all of the Simio-specific topics at a slightly faster pace and in greater detail. This course is often supplemented with topics of special interest to the attendees and/or project jump-start advice.

This course is appropriate only for technical people with previous simulation background. Knowledge of simulation basics, statistical issues, and conducting simulation projects is assumed and these will not be covered in the course.

Simio Training for Higher Education

This two day intensive course provides a fast start to using Simio to effectively solve real problems and focuses on using Simio in higher education. We start with a brief overview of the Simio modeling framework to learn what makes Simio unique. Then we use the Simio Standard Library to solve a variety of problems -- exploring the ease-of-use and power of intelligent objects. Next we cover how objects can interact to provide improved model accuracy and flexibility and how to create and modify objects graphically. We end with an overview of innovative ways to evaluate scenarios and interpret simulation results and an introduction to simulation-based scheduling.

This course is targeted at faculty who have prior simulation experience teaching or using another simulation product. Knowledge of simulation basics, statistical issues, and conducting simulation projects is assumed and these will not be covered in the course. If you want to attend and do not yet have the prerequisite skills, we can recommend some on-line training to help you prepare.

General Information

All of the above courses are typically customized to the audience. Individual course topics may be covered in greater or lesser detail as determined by the allotted time and the needs of the audience.

Instructor will provide printed manuals for registered participants unless agreed otherwise.

Each participant will supply their own computer unless agreed otherwise, however temporary activation for Simio will be supplied.

Full time faculty of academic institutions registered to teach Simio may attend most commercially-focused US courses at a 50% discount (not combinable with any other special prices or discounts).
