How is the SimCenter site organized?

Submitted by glenshewchuck on

Just to make things more clear we have divided it up into two areas.

  • About the SimCenter space and how you can use it
  • The history and vision of the SimCenter

On any page you are on, you can just go up to the header and click on one or the other icon to get to that area
