Case Study: Renault reduces engine noise and vibration with Maplesoft Maple

Renault reduces engine noise by 30% with Maplesoft

Renault, a leading car manufacturer, faced a challenge with unwanted noise and vibration occurring during engine deceleration in one of their diesel engines, which was causing premature wear on components. To solve this, they turned to Maplesoft and used the Maple software to model the system and identify the source of the problem.

Using Maple, the Renault team efficiently created a mathematical model of the engine, which allowed them to identify that the vibrations were primarily caused by shocks inside the dual mass flywheel. Maplesoft's solution enabled Renault to implement a simple modification to the air intake system during deceleration. This resulted in a 30% reduction in noise and provided substantial cost savings by avoiding a major engine redesign.
