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.

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.

Optimization of an Aluminum Platform for Electric Buses
Letenda, an innovative company specializing in electric buses, commissioned Lx Sim to simulate side impacts on their new aluminum structure. The goal was to validate the structural resistance according to public transit certification standards (TC, APTA), while accounting for unique design constraints and a modular layout that can accommodate various configurations based on client needs (number of seats, seating arrangement, etc.).

Optimization of Embedded Stabilizers
Chantier Naval Forillon, in collaboration with the firm Navanex, commissioned Lx Sim to analyze the behavior of a fishing vessel hull equipped with embedded stabilizers. The goal was to use Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulation to optimize the placement of the stabilizers in order to reduce drag and lower fuel consumption.
