What can Moldflow do?

What can Moldflow do?

What is Moldflow? 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.

What is Moldflow Adviser?

Autodesk Moldflow Adviser is the small and cost-effective solution for simulating the design during component development. The Adviser allows the simple import of CAD data from all common systems such as Catia®, Creo® or SolidWorks®, as well as the fast simulation of the component – often only within a few minutes.

How much is Moldflow?

Autodesk Moldflow Insight WS comes in three versions: Standard provides 200 hr/yr of cloud computing, enough for about 150 small simulations. Cost: $10,000. Premium provides 800 hr/yr of cloud computing, enough for around 300 medium simulations.
