Moldflow® software helps reduce manufacturing defects through plastic injection molding simulation. Access tools for injection mold design, plastic part design, and mold processing.
Predict how your injection mold cavity will fill, pack, cool, and deflect
Improve your productivity by meshing and analyzing your model in one step
Collaborate using cloud-connected devices to share results, comment, and design recommendations
Find potential as-manufactured part defects to reduce excess warp, sink marks, weld lines, and more
Customize display methods for various simulation result plots to suit your needs
Generate professional reports summarizing your analysis model, settings, and results
Import native CAD files without the need to convert for simulation
The Moldflow material database includes over 11,000 material grades
Split the viewing window to see results side by side between studies, and lock views to sync rotations
Create a custom ribbon menu or a quick access menu. Modify mouse clicks and color schemes
Moldflow provides the right tools based on your needs through Moldflow Adviser and Moldflow Insight.
Automated wizards
Set up simulations with guided, automated wizards to step through customizing settings for the simulation.
Runner balance
Size multi-cavity runners for even pressure and fill time with runner balance analysis.
Dynamic help
This help panel is connected to your clicks to provide an explanation of the result that is displayed, including what the result measures and what you can learn from it.
Automated mold creator
Size the mold using either the mold sizing dialog or clicking and dragging within the study window.
Results summary
Review the analysis and process inputs along with the results of each phase of the analysis within a single screen.
Cost Adviser
Estimate the total production cost per part by calculating the mold usage, material cost, material usage, mold cost, molding cost, and post-molding costs.
Flexible solving
Use the Simulation Compute Manager (SCM) to solve analyses locally, on a server, or on the cloud.
Mold and inserts
Assign part insert, mold insert, and mold block materials, including part orthotropic inserts, from a pre-loaded database.
Automation using API
The Application Programming Interface (API) automation tools let you create custom scripts.
Thermoset materials
Simulate molding of both thermoplastic and thermoset (reactive) materials.
Valve gating
Include controlled and sequential valve gates within simulations, along with hot runner layouts.
Part and process optimization
Use automated design of experiments (DOE) and parametric analysis to locate the best process and design.
Advanced molding processes
Access complex molding processes including multi-barrel, overmolding, co-injection, gas-assisted IM, microcellular IM, and many more.
Variety of analysis sequences
In addition to typical flow, cool, and warp simulations, explore niche simulations such as birefringence, crystallinity, fiber orientation, and many more.
Comprehensive solver parameters
Improve simulation accuracy with a comprehensive set of customizable solver parameters.
