Autodesk® Moldflow® plastic injection molding simulation software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, provides tools that help manufacturers validate and optimize the design of plastic parts and injection molds, and study the plastic injection molding process. Companies worldwide use Autodesk® Moldflow® Adviser and Autodesk® Moldflow® Insight simulation software to help reduce the need for costly physical prototypes, avoid potential manufacturing defects, and get innovative products to market faster.
Geometry Modification
With Autodesk Moldflow 2012, you can use Autodesk® Inventor® Fusion to modify or simplify geometry more quickly and easily, helping to optimize plastic part designs for manufacturability and quality as fast as possible.
Real-Time Injection Molding Simulation
With Autodesk Moldflow 2012, you can dynamically evaluate a range of potential plastic part designs in a fraction of the time it takes to perform a standard simulation, helping you pinpoint the best design more quickly.
Fiber Orientation in Plastic Part Designs
More accurately predict the orientation of short and long glass fibers, which are critical to the overall performance, shape, strength, and weight of plastic parts.
Transient Cooling of Injection Molds
Determine temperature variation in an injection mold during a plastic injection molding cycle. Predict the number of cycles required from production startup until the mold reaches a stable temperature.
Design Optimization
With Autodesk® Moldflow® Insight 2012 software, the Design of Experiments (DOE) capabilities are expanded to all mesh types, molding processes, and simulation tools – helping to better optimize the design and manufacturing of injection-molded plastic parts.
