Rev-Sim Launches Learning Program on Role of AI/ML

in engineering simulation, product development

CINCINNATI, OH, Sep 6, 2024 – Revolution in Simulation (Rev-Sim) has launched a new learning program dedicated to the exciting new role of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML) in engineering simulation and product development. Whether you’re exploring AI/ML, are in the early implementation stages, or wish to more fully leverage its advanced capabilities, this new and free program offers a full range of information on this topic. The curriculum is curated by experts, offering best practices, expert guidance, and a community discussion forum to ask questions and share insights.

With information relevant to senior management, middle management, and end-users alike, the initiative is supported by founding partners including Siemens, Aras, EmpowerOps, and CIMdata. Founding Steering Committee members Justin Hodges (Siemens), Dr. Cenk Feridunoglu (EmpowerOps), Malcolm Panthaki (Aras/Rev-Sim), and Sandeepak Natu (CIMdata) are lending their expertise to curate and shape the material, and to coordinate and manage all the activities of this dynamic program.

The AI/ML in Simulation Program is a natural extension of Rev-Sim’s mission to advance innovation through cutting-edge simulation technologies. According to Panthaki, the emergence of AI and ML as a simulation tool is so significant that it warrants a dedicated program and section of the rev-sim.org community site.


“Simulation has long been a product development cornerstone. In recent times, AI and ML technologies have developed exponentially and have become practical tools. It was only a matter of time before these two streams collided and merged, and we are there now! AI and ML are starting to have a significant impact on how simulations are conducted, offering enhanced efficiency and insights, and a new way to perform design exploration and synthesis. The Rev-Sim AI/ML Program has been created to be a guidepost in these early, turbulent, uncertain times, as AI/ML finds its rightful place in the pantheon of engineering simulation tools and techniques. We help answer questions such as: Is it real? Where do I begin? Where do I go to learn? What are the learning steps I should take? Who are the experts I can ask about this? Where can I have discussions with my peers exploring the same path? What’s working and what is hype?

The AI Program Founding Partners and various experts in this field are demonstrating leadership by providing would be practitioners and advanced users with the AI/ML information, resources and tools that will soon become standard throughout product development. Join this free Program at rev-sim.org and let’s learn together with the experts.”

Revolution in Simulation is a free, web-based resource and community-building platform that educates, advocates, collaborates and innovates for the advancement and democratization of engineering simulation.
