ANN ARBOR, Mich. - July 22, 2020 - PRLog -- CIMdata, Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announces that it has set dates for the first series of Systems Modeling & Simulation Certificate Programs.

The goal of the classes is to provide a superior educational experience for today's simulation and analysis professionals. Each class will be delivered through a series of education and training sessions designed to equip those involved in systems modeling and/or simulation with a strong understanding of systems modeling and simulation concepts and industry-leading best practices.

The following SMS Certificate Programs will be offered in the fall of 2020:

·      SMS Basic Certificate for Executives (September 22)—a half-day virtual-live class for executives seeking an understanding of engineering analysis and virtual modeling.

·      SMS Basic Certificate for Managers (September 23 & 24)—a virtual-live class delivered over two half days for those using simulation at various lifecycle stages and/or supporting simulations in various functions.

·      SMS Basic Certificate for Practitioners (October 6-7)—a virtual-live class delivered over three half days for general users, application engineers, systems engineers, simulation engineers, development engineers, subject matter experts, and IT analysts.
