About the Program

The SIMULIA Champions Program pays tribute to our most active and influential simulation experts and brings them together to advance the future of simulation.

Our Champions are brand ambassadors who share their extraordinary expertise with other users, inspire peers, provide important feedback and enrich our SIMULIA community.

Together, let’s reveal the world we live in.

Hear Their Stories

Do you want to know more about our SIMULIA Champions? We interviewed some Champions to learn more about their work and careers that made them become a SIMULIA Champion. Watch the interviews and be inspired by their ideas and creativity to reveal the world we live in.

Our SIMULIA Champions are not only people who have deep passion and experience in simulation and its uses in their industry, but they are also people who innovate, invent, and explore new horizons in their given field.
