Moldflow® simulation software lets you troubleshoot problems with plastic injection and compression molding. Advanced tools and a simplified user interface help you address manufacturing challenges, such as part warpage, cooling channel efficiency, and cycle time reduction. Therefore, Moldflow is the solution for simulation plastic flow.

Inspecting and optimizing products, molds and injection molding processes
While small simulation solutions concentrate on the analysis of the part, Autodesk Moldflow Insight allows the accompanying simulation across the entire process chain.We are talking about three simulation phases: Article design, tool design and tool construction and production . With Autodesk Moldflow Insight, you can validate and optimize parts, molds, and processes individually and exclude potential defects and their causes.

High-grade parallelization through cloud computing
Extension of licenses. Increased computing power. Insight customers can also run their simulations in the Autodesk cloud parallel to their own in-house computers. These are billed at flat rates. The cloud is particularly suitable for peak loads or complex calculations with a high number of elements, as it no longer blocks your own hardware and generates manageable costs in the cloud – regardless of whether the calculation takes 3 hours or 3 days. The Autodesk Cloud shows its full power in DoE calculations – parallel operation of up to 43 Insight licenses is possible with this solution.
