+About PLoM
+^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
+**PLoM** is an open source python package that implements the algorithm of **Probabilistic 
+Learning on Manifolds** with and without constraints ([SoizeGhanem2016]_, [SoizeGhanem2020]_) 
+for *generating realizations of a random vector in a finite Euclidean space that are 
+statistically consistent with a given dataset of that vector*. 
+
+PLoM functionality in SimCenter tools is built upon `PLoM <https://github.com/sanjayg0/PLoM>`_ 
+package (available under MIT license), an opensource python package for Probabilistic 
+Learning on Manifolds [ZhongGualGovindjee2021]_. The package mainly consists of python 
+modules and invokes a dynamic library for more efficiently computing the gradient of 
+the potential, and can be imported and run on Linux, macOS, and Windows platform. 
+
+Problem Statement
+^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
+
 Consider the problem simulating response of a two-dimensional truss structure with uncertain material properties shown in the following figure.
 The goal of the exercise is to demonstrate the use of ``PLoM model`` method under ``SimCenterUQ``.
