About the Rev-Sim Initiative

What We Believe: Democratizing Simulation

Advanced simulation should be safely accessible to everyone – not just the experts. Democratized Simulation makes analysis more powerful and capable for CAE experts while accessible, safe and reliable for non-experts.  RevolutionInSimulation.Org is a public resource center containing information related to a movement gaining momentum throughout the simulation world – the Democratization of Simulation.

Here, you’ll find the latest news, articles, presentations, videos, webinars, success stories and related materials. You’ll also have access to industry experts, organizations, and service and software providers who can help you leverage this revolution and maximize the ROI of your simulation investments.

Who We Are

The Revolution in Simulation non-profit seeking initiative and the Rev-Sim.org website are the results of an open collaboration and alliance between a number of leading simulation industry professionals who have volunteered their time, expertise, and passion.

We are especially thankful for the contributions from the many Topic Moderators who curate the topics found on the “How it Works” pages and other simulation experts. These individuals, who are all volunteers and receive no compensation from participation, serve as our Board of Advisors. We are equally appreciative of the Founding Sponsors who have also given their time, talent and money to help jump-start the Revolution in Simulation platform.

Finally, the Revolution in Simulation Executive Operating Committee consists of the following individuals who have contributed much of their time and experience over recent months:

Malcolm Panthaki, Founder of Comet Solutions, and now VP of Analysis Solutions at Aras, may be reached at malcolm@rev-sim.org when he is not out pursuing his other deep love, nature photography. He has devoted most of his professional career to making simulation more accessible, first to the experts, and now, since the early 2000’s to the democratization of simulation throughout the enterprise. As one of the initial group of industry experts involved in the ASSESS Initiative, he realized a need that wasn’t being met, and decided to rally the troops to create the Revolution in Simulation online community, to provide end-users with all the resources needed to democratize simulation. Connect with Malcolm on LinkedIn.

Bob Farrell, Jr., Founder of Farrell MarCom Services LLC may be contacted at bob@rev-sim.org  unless he is out working on his golf game.  Bob provides marketing communications / content marketing services to B2B technology companies.  His career began at SDRC (now Siemens PLM) and along the way Bob has provided services for companies focused on new product development, product data interoperability, simulation, manufacturing and supply chain software.  He sees democratized simulation as the next big industry game changer. Connect with Bob on LinkedIn.

Mike Nieburg, Vice President of Business Development at EASA Inc. may be contacted at mike.nieburg@rev-sim.org except when he is unplugged out at the gym, mountain biking, or out flying racing drones. His professional passion is helping people learn about and leverage exceptional but low visibility and emerging technologies. He was drawn to work with the Revolution in Simulation initiative because of his personal experience participating in and witnessing the tremendous growth of CAE and believing there is still so much more potential to be unlocked. Connect with Mike on LinkedIn.

Scott Botkins, Webmaster Scott Botkins may be reached at scott@rev-sim.org when he is not off the grid and fly fishing somewhere in the Great Smoky Mountains.
