Meet our SIMULIA Champion Simon Duraffourg. He is an R&D engineer at Decathlon, a sporting goods company based in France. Duraffourg works in Decathlon’s body and research division and is responsible for the numerical biomechanical simulation of body and product interaction. He is working on a next-generation scuba diving mask.

“We have a big lab focusing on body and product interaction,” he explains. “I am responsible for the biomechanical simulation reproducing the interaction between body, product and environment.”

Duraffourg enjoys sports outside of work. He finds that simple moments with family and friends are highly important to him as well. He is skilled with a sewing machine and likes to make clothing as gifts for family, friends and colleagues.

We will be getting to know some of our individual SIMULIA Champion in a series of blogs, finding out more about their history – and future – with the technology. Read the full interview with Duraffourg on the SIMULIA Blog.
