How to change the world
Want to change the world? Think differently
“It shouldn’t be possible for a story to combine French philosopher René Descartes, the Fosbury Flop high jump technique, a folding chair inspired by spider webs and the endless possibilities of 3D UNIV+RSES in a way that just makes sense, but this 2,300-word salute to those who think differently does exactly that.” Patrick Ball, WW communication senior manager, Dassault Systèmes.
Innovation in shipbuilding

Meet Michelle Ash
A new chapter for SIMULIA: A message from our new CEO Michelle Ash
“One of my favorite posts we did this year was introducing our new CEO, Michelle Ash and her vision for SIMULIA in the upcoming years. This post really resonated with our audience because they were hearing directly from Michelle; they got to learn more about her personally, as well as about our strategy and emerging trends for the brand to focus on. Her interview about AI was also another hit!” – Katie Corey, SIMULIA creative communication manager.
