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.

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.

Design and Manufacturing of an Optimized Handbike
Lx Sim was commissioned to design and manufacture a new optimized handbike for Paralympic athlete Charles Moreau for the Paris 2024 Games. The goal was to maximize the aerodynamic and structural performance of the equipment while adhering to manufacturing constraints and industry safety standards.

Optimization of a Blade Holder for Bauer Hockey Skates
Bauer Hockey aimed to enhance the performance of their blade holder (Edge Holder model) by optimizing its rigidity and to improve player performance, particularly skating agility and power. Bauer Hockey developed an initial prototype that met the desired performance characteristics, but its geometry did not meet the requirements for product design and production. Furthermore, the materials used in the prototype were different from those preferred for the final version.

Cycling Canada handbike
Cycling Canada is a national organization dedicated to the holistic development of the sport which includes all cycling disciplines. As part of this project, the client wanted to analyze the handbike aerodynamics to optimize the geometry of the carbon fiber seat and then modify it physically. LxSim's mandate was first to scan the handbike and the rider. The next step consisted of optimizing the lower surface of the seat to reduce the drag by running CFD simulation from the initial scanned geometry to the final optimized shape. In a second phase, Lx Sim had to design the laminate using finite elements, select the materials and modify physically the lower surface of the handbike according to the optimized geometry.
