Autodesk® Moldflow® Adviser

Autodesk® Moldflow® Adviser software, part of the Autodesk solution for Digital Prototyping, provides easy-to-use tools that help you to simulate and optimize your part, mold, and tool designs long before manufacturing begins. By simulating the injection molding process using a digital prototype, you can reduce the number of physical prototypes required to perfect a design and get your products to market faster. 

Autodesk Moldflow Adviser simplifies plastic injection molding simulation and helps to optimize mold features such as gates, runners, and cavity layouts.  It guides designers through analysis setup and results interpretation, enabling them to see how changes to wall thickness, gate locations, material, and geometry affect manufacturability. By resolving and clearly communicating potential problems with injection molding process simulation, Autodesk Moldflow Adviser enables any engineer to confidently design injection-molded plastic parts.
