Maarten Oudendijk
SENIOR TECHNICAL CONSULTANT
Maarten holds a degree in Computational Mechanics and likes to help customers perform nonlinear simulations. He prefers riding a bike over driving a car.
Melissa Mehlbaum
MARKETING & COMMUNICATION SPECIALIST
Went from Student to Specialist. Started at In Summa Innovation for her graduation internship (studied Oriental Languages & Communication – Japanese). During, she got infected with our passion for tech so she just had to stay, despite little technical knowledge.
Likes cooking (& eating), travelling (Japan is her 2nd home), fitness and snowboarding. Loves to learn about all the cool and geeky products and projects our customers create. Always looking for a way to add some creativity in a high-tech world.
Anton van Daal
CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER
Owner of In Summa. Has pretty impressive tennis skills. Anton loves to help companies innovate, save cost, improve quality, and test as well as shorten time2market using MSC Software Simulation.
A very curious guy by nature with a profound interest in the galaxy, he mastered the sociotechnical (re)designing of production environments at the Technical University of Eindhoven, combining people and technology. Anton believes that simple solutions are always the best ones. With In Summa he’s working towards a more sustainable world.
Inge Barendregt
HUMAN RESOURCES MANAGER
Besides personal growth and working result-oriented on projects for our customers, we also feel it’s important to keep the In Summa team spirit. Drinks, a day out, interactive knowledge sessions…. “The more fun you have in your job, the better you perform” is our motto.

D2S International
PARTNER
Located in Heverlee Belgium, we offer specialised engineering and consultancy services. We’re engineers specialized in acoustics, noise, vibration and dynamics for railways, buildings, civil structures, industrial and environmental applications.
Numerical simulations apply to a wide range of engineering software across a variety of applications in the automotive, marine, railway and heavy industry. The level of sophistication involved in these simulations and has attracted a diverse and loyal customer base.
D2S International prides itself at proposing cost effective solutions that are also low maintenance and thus contributes to low life cycle costs.
More info & contact details available on our Website.
Sayfield International
PARTNER
Dedicated to supporting the Benelux market in improving the quality of using Multi-Body simulations (also called MB-Simulations) as an advanced CAE simulation tool. Employees of Sayfield International have created and evaluated mathematical simulation environments since 1985. Since these days, extensive experience and knowledge were gained about the different aspects of this prototyping approach.
In close cooperation with our partners In Summa Innovation and resources at MSC.Software we promote the use of CAE simulations (and MB-Simulations in particular) as an indispensable tool for all companies involved in Mechanical Engineering and production of products with moving mechanical components.
Our experience has contributed to a work approach where evaluation and verification has become a key aspect before application of simulation results. Knowledge of pitfalls in using the virtually unlimited power of mathematical simulation tools is a crucial difference to less experienced researchers in this work area.
