SimOps Fundamentals
The free SimOps Fundamentals online course is designed as a self-assessment test for experienced simulation engineers and data center experts (like system administrators) in High-Performance Computing (HPC), Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) and Compute and Data Infrastructures. This course is tailored to challenge and validate your skills in the operations and use of HPC and HPC Cloud infrastructures for engineering simulations. It serves as a preparation for the next training levels of SimOps Practitioner and SimOps Expert (both coming soon). This certification provides a formal recognition of your expertise and supports your professional development and resume.
The scope of the SimOps training is to equip you with the basics of simulations infrastructure use and operation, to be able to help your company:
- to bring simulation engineers and HPC experts closer together to optimize simulation processes and underlying infrastructure
- to increase simulation engineers' productivity and the quality of products they design
- to make your company more innovative and competitive.
Duration: 1 - 2 hours
Certification: Demonstrate your expertise by completing the course and passing a 35-question exam to earn your SimOps Fundamentals Certificate.
