What They Say
About Us
LX Sim offers excellent expertise
I have worked, successfully, in collaboration with Lx Sim for the realization of a large scale development project related to survivability. The engineers at Lx Sim have a very good understanding of the physics and principles involved, provide insightful recommendations and have a clear expertise for the modelling of complex structures under highly dynamic, blast and buried mine loading.

A great collaborator
Our collaboration with Lx Sim has allowed us to improve our design process, both mechanical and visual, with the use of their many optimization tools as well as their analysis of finite elements. Their expertise and ability to adapt to changing situations is an undeniable asset, a direct result of the quality of the employees who were assigned to us. The company's understanding of our discipline – namely, circus arts – has proved to be very important in the development of our different projects.

We trust LX Sim
Lx Sim has supported us for a number of years by providing structural analysis (FEA) and high-quality numerical optimization. The relationship of trust allows us to use the results immediately in order to develop our bike concepts and enhance performance. In addition to their efficiency and quick response time, they allow us to reduce lead times for the manufacturing stage.

LX Sim is a reliable partner
Lx Sim has been a reliable, affordable, and flexible partner and resource for our engineering simulations. Their numerical simulation and optimization services are a crucial resource for the development of our products. Whether we are trying to reduce the weight of a truck cabin frame or validate the integrity of a complex structural assembly made of composites, Lx Sim helps RMC deliver exceptional performance and stays on budget and on time.

Fast, efficient and personalized service
Lx Sim supported us in the validation of our concepts in a fast and efficient way while limiting the costs related to basin tests. The results allowed us to have a better understanding of the causes of the resistance issue we were facing. We were able to act accordingly early in the design process.

Suggesting custom solutions
The CFD simulation team was able to listen and propose tailor-made solutions that allowed us to proceed more quickly. The accuracy of the analysis provided data that were used to solve problems and finalize our design of the distributor. Their professionalism and commitment make them a trusted partner for our projects.

R.P.M. Tech
Dynamic behavior evaluation of a railroad snow blower during cornering. The worst, tighter corners were evaluated. A multi-body dynamics simulation of the detailed suspension mechanism was used to model the behavior.

FDC Aero Composites
FDC is located in Montreal Canada and specializes in Value Added Built to Print Manufacturing of composite Aerostructures and Interior aircraft parts & assemblies.
For this project, FDC needed to design water tank fairing structures for a firefighting aircraft. The fairing is made of glass fiber with a foamcore. Lx Sim assisted FDC in the design and analysis of the structure, subject to several load cases: aerodynamic pressures & inertial loading. Linear static analysis were used for the analysis.

René Matériaux Composites
RMC produces truck body parts made of a composite that is lighter than steel but less rigid. Reinforcements have to be added as judiciously as possible to achieve the required rigidity and the lowest possible weight. Numerical optimization is the ideal method for this kind of problem.
