Simio, a developer of 3D object-oriented simulation software, has awarded a $306,900 grant to Georgia Tech, an Atlanta-based public university. Georgia Tech is considered one of the nation's top research schools and is consistently ranked in the top ten of U.S. News & World Report's best public universities in the United States.

Georgia Tech is now one of over a 100 universities across the globe to join Simio’s academic program, which offers Simio’s 3D modeling software to schools at no charge. Simio Academic Edition is fully capable software with no model size limits and includes discrete and continuous modeling, object library development, and 3D animation.
“The faculty at the Georgia Tech is committed to providing the best environment for their students to learn simulation,”
Georgia Tech’s H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering (Stewart School) will be the primary home for the research licenses, though the School will make the software available to students and researchers throughout the Institute. The Stewart School, whose graduate program for industrial engineering has been ranked as the nation’s number one by U.S. News & World Report for nineteen years, will use the Simio grant to remain at the forefront of research and education at all levels.
Chip White, H, Milton and Carolyn J. Stewart Chair of the Stewart School, states that “we are pleased to be the recipient of such cutting-edge software, and we will certainly put it to good use in a variety of classes and research activities involving simulation and stochastic processes.”
Students at the school will be able to model systems using intelligent objects and the software’s direct connection to Google’s 3D Warehouse – two features unique to Simio.
The intelligent objects are built by modelers and then may be reused in multiple modeling projects. These objects can be stored in libraries and easily shared. Simio’s connection to Google’s 3D Warehouse gives access to a free online library of thousands of graphic objects – providing students with the ability to solve real-world problems in visually-rich environments.
About the H. Milton School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at Georgia Tech
The H. Milton Stewart School of Industrial and Systems Engineering at the Georgia Institute of Technology has over 50 faculty members. For the nineteenth consecutive year, the Stewart School maintained its position as the number one graduate program for industrial engineering according to the U.S. News & World Report Best Graduate School guide. Though the Stewart School functions as a single cohesive unit, some of its academic specialties are so large and heavily represented, they could be legitimately viewed as stand-alone, academic departments in their own right. The School offers ten different academic degrees, from bachelors through the Ph.D.
