Autodesk Moldflow simulation software provides plastic injection molding and compression molding insights to improve manufactured part quality. Advanced tools and a simplified user interface help you address manufacturing challenges such as part warpage, cooling channel efficiency, material selection, and cycle time reduction.
Connect product design teams with Autodesk Drive and Shared Views to minimize delays and rework costs. Achieve quicker geometry changes with in-product Fusion 360 push. Export CAD and results for post-processing.
Autodesk Moldflow simulations provide analysts insights to help predict and possibly prevent part defects such as sink marks, weld lines, and part warpage. It also allows for exploring options that reduce cycle time.
Moldflow Insight provides detailed material flow, cooling, and warpage results for both injection molding and compression molding processes. Additional control on materials, machines, molds, and processes is possible with Moldflow Insight.
Automation with scripts/API accelerate setup and post-processing capabilities. Thermoplastic and thermoset materials are supported, along with customization of materials for part inserts and mold inserts. Advanced molding methods, such as gas-assisted injection molding, injection compression molding, co-injection molding, microcellular injection molding, and many more, are available to discover the best option for your part. Moldflow Insight also has advanced customization of the process including the ability to select the molding machine, specify valve gates, adjust mold materials, solve for a Design of Experiments (DOE) or parametric study, and much more.

A command line workflow is also supported on both Windows and Linux machines, with the use of a new Key (token) that can be created in Synergy and can be provided as part of the command line arguments.
Hi Ryan,
Yes the article on the AKN page about the end of renewal of Network licenses is correct. Autodesk is moving to the Named User model as a company, and the Moldflow now has a Named User offering available. Between now and February 7 2023 the Network licenses, TFLEX licenses and the Named User licenses are available and completely viable options.
The Network licenses are renewable single year and multi year until Feb 7 2023. If the network option is the preferred option for you and your company, I would suggest further discuss this with the reseller. If the reseller has questions, we are currently helping resellers work through the different questions and scenarios they have.
I'm eager to understand how the Named User license functions on Linux. Historically, we've had Synergy support solely on Windows systems. Now, with Named User, both Synergy and Insight packages are combined, which raises questions about compatibility. Is it possible to install Moldflow Insight Named User on a high-configured Linux PC while having Moldflow Synergy on a Windows system?
We have teachers asking us if we (University) can share the licenses that we have in our network license server with students so that they can use the Autodesk Moldflow Insight and Autodesk Moldflow Adviser in their personal computers.
It's the legal questions that we want to clarify with you. Do you allow or not the share of educational licenses in the personal computers of the students, to do academic work (not for commercial work) outside the University, for example at home? They would connect the VPN and access the license server of University to validate the license.
The first step would be creating the piece in solidworks, have done it (it's a really simple piece, just a rounded square with a hole somewhere). Then would be importing the .step file into moldflow synergy. Then the real problem starts here: I need to mesh it in order to start doing proper stuff with the object.
I've checked the versions of both synergy and insight, shortened the file path (directly on C:), and updated Job Manager to the latest version. Not sure how to verify the license, but I followed my university's install instructions.
EMS is ambitious to offer permanently quality products. This applies not only for our plastics but as well for our services. To achieve accurate simulation results a high quality of used material data is essential. EMS continually optimizes it's material data for rheology simulations with AMI. Additionally new developed material grades are implemented likewise.
Moldflow Insight Advanced Cool & Warp is the third class for Moldflow Insight. The class, consisting of both lecture and hands-on exercises, is three days focused on the cooling and warpage analyses within Moldflow.
Warpage also begins with an overview, and moves into analysis setup and various options and their effects. Again, there is a considerable emphasis on result interpretation. Users will learn tools within the software to determine what the contributing cause of warpage is, and ways to reduce it.
