LMS, a Full Service Partner for Functional Performance Engineering

Manufacturers need to meet tight development schedules and budgets while competing for customers’ interest and loyalty. To remain competitive and profitable, they have to create a continuous stream of innovative products, appeal to specific market segments, and compete with attractive brand values. Engineering departments now more than ever are challenged to tune the functional performance characteristics of their new designs to deliver the values that support their brand identity.

LMS delivers a unique combination of virtual simulation software, testing systems, and engineering services. We are focused on the mission critical performance attributes in key manufacturing industries - structural integrity, system dynamics, handling, safety, reliability, comfort and sound quality. LMS has the experience, unique competences and award-winning solutions that empower an innovative way of engineering – one that supports manufacturers in the race to get products out right-first-time. The pay-offs are dramatically shortened cycle times, superior products that excite the customers, as well as reduced development costs and risks.

Through our technology, software, people and over 25 years experience, LMS has become the partner of choice for Fortune 500 companies in the automotive, aerospace, and other advanced discrete manufacturing industries. LMS is certified to ISO9001:2000 quality standards and operates through a network of subsidiaries in key locations around the world.

A portfolio of integrated solutions

LMS is the recognized leader in virtual prototype simulation for critical performance disciplines such as structural integrity and safety, vehicle dynamics, comfort and sound quality, fatigue and durability. Our integrated solutions enable engineers to accurately simulate and refine mechanical design long before prototype testing.

LMS provides an unrivaled suite of physical-prototype testing and analysis solutions for durability, noise and vibration engineering. The LMS offering ranges from large-scale laboratory systems to compact and highly portable instruments.

LMS Engineering Services works with customers to solve their most critical problems, optimize their development processes, or co-develop their products. Its unique combination of process know how, and engineering experience turns attribute engineering into a strategic competitive advantage.

Delivering industry specific expertise

LMS is uniquely placed to support its clients’ engineering teams as they transform their processes. We have proven our technology and approaches in collaboration with many top-tier manufacturers and key suppliers in the automotive and aerospace industry.

Over 25 years of experience in engineering and process consulting have given us an in-depth understanding of ‘best practices’ in automotive and aerospace engineering, ranging from full-vehicle integration, body engineering, suspension development, engine design, landing gear development to aircraft structure optimization.

LMS has the vision, the expertise, and the solutions portfolio to empower automotive and aerospace manufacturers to implement high-performance development processes.

Adding value throughout the development process

LMS uniquely combines the Test and CAE expertise to integrate the entire development cycle, from initial target setting up to the final product refinement and validation. LMS empowers engineering teams to qualify the feasibility of attribute design targets and to quickly evaluate early concept designs. LMS’ integrated simulation platform supports them in assessing the performance of designs in the detailed engineering stage, and delivers accurate simulation results to evaluate specific design options in detail.

The industry evolution towards more virtual prototyping results in fewer prototypes that must be tested in greater detail. LMS provides the integrated testing systems that dramatically improve the productivity of prototype troubleshooting, refinement and validation.
