RESERVE YOUR SPOT NOW!
If you've ever wished you could bring Python's vast ecosystem—machine learning models, optimization solvers, rich libraries—directly into your ExtendSim simulations without leaving your model, this Simulation Master Class is for you.
In this session, we’ll unveil how the new Python Bridge block (coming in ExtendSim 2026) acts as a powerful gateway connecting your simulation models to the full Python ecosystem.
Why it’s a game changer
The ExtendSim Python Bridge block lets you launch and execute Python at simulation runtime. Bring ML models into the loop, pull in solvers from leading libraries, and script advanced logic with a robust editor and seamless access to ExtendSim variables. It’s the fastest way to turn simulations into intelligent, adaptive decision engines—without duct taped integrations or offline workflows.
Key capabilities include:
- A true gateway to Python: Launch Python from ExtendSim to access its full ecosystem of libraries.
- Runtime execution: Execute scripts inside the simulation engine for closed loop experimentation and adaptive logic.
- ML in the loop: Evaluate machine-learning models – such as externally-trained neural networks – for real time inference as the simulation runs.
- Multi-version support: Choose your preferred Python version within ExtendSim—an internal set of DLLs facilitates easy support for rapidly evolving Python versions.
- Seamless API: Direct access to ExtendSim model variables, databases, and custom logic.
- Python-native scripting: Variable management, initialization scripting, and advanced environment setup—all within ExtendSim.
What you’ll learn:
- Inside the integration: ExtendSim Technical Product Manager Mohan Divakaran will lead a guided walkthrough of the Python Bridge architecture and the data flow between ExtendSim and Python during execution.
- Case study: Dave Krahl from the QMT Group and Tetra Tech will present a live use case demonstrating Python-based analytics inside a running ExtendSim model.
- Live Q&A: Get answers directly from the team building and using this capability Who should attend Simulation engineers, data scientists, OR practitioners, and modelers who want to pair ExtendSim with Python’s powerful ecosystem to build higher fidelity, experiment ready simulation models.
