SUNY Sullivan awarded gaming simulation grant from Simio LLC

 

Loch Sheldrake (Aug. 24, 2011) SUNY Sullivan is starting the new academic year off with a grant from Simio LLC, creators of Simio computer software. The grant was secured as the result of the hard work and determination of Dr. Cynthia Marcello, Assistant Professor, Business & Information Technology.

“We are fast becoming a world where the use of 3-D modeling and simulation is spreading into areas once only thought to be almost impossible,” Dr. Marcello said. “As SUNY Sullivan launches its new Simulation and Game Development degree program, the Simio grant will allow us to provide our students with state-of-the-art simulation technology, thereby giving them the edge up in what should prove to be the next greatest career opportunity.”

The Simio grant provided the college with 60 copies of the Simio Academic Edition which were installed in computers at the college. This software is full-capability software with no model size limits. Simio breaks down the walls of traditional simulation software, giving the users the power to rapidly build accurate 3D animated models and objectively analyze alternatives to make informed decisions faster.

Simio recognizes that no complex problem is simple to analyze. For this reason Simio is designed as the first and only simulation software to combine the modeling speed of objects with the flexibility of processes. Simio gives you the power to build 3D animated models in 1/3 the traditional time, and therefore offers management more time to analyze alternatives and make informed decisions.
