(CIMdata: Ann Arbor, MI) -- CIMdata Inc., the leading global PLM strategic management consulting and research firm, announced the expansion of its Simulation-driven Systems Development (SDSD) practice team with the addition of Sandeepak Natu as an executive consultant.

With industry experience of more than 25 years, Sandeepak has a strong background in multi-physics-based modeling and simulation technologies, including the development and application of hybrid digital twins. Sandeepak started his career with Fluent India (now part of ANSYS Inc.) and has been associated with several engineering consultancy and simulation software organizations. He has worked with various industrial organizations helping them adopt simulation technologies and has deep application expertise in the automotive, aerospace, chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food, consumer products, and healthcare sectors.
