Meet Insight – an all-in-one solution for molding teams to test their decisions before production.
What is Autodesk Moldflow Insight?
Autodesk Moldflow Insight is professional simulation software designed for advanced plastic molding analysis, including compression molding. It helps validate product design, mold layout, material choice, and process parameters before a trial begins.
Complex Part and Process Simulation
Parts
- Fiber-filled parts
- 2 component parts
- Insert and hybrid parts
- Metal or ceramic powder parts (‘green parts’)
- Duroplast and elastomer parts
Tool technologies
- Tool inserts
- Conformal and variothermal cooling
- Cascade runners
- Modern hot runner technologies, such as HRS FlexFlow
Special processes
- Internal gas pressure processes
- Foam injection molding
- (Injection) imprinting
- Co and Bi injection molding („Sandwich“)
- and many more
High-grade parallelization through cloud computing
Extension of licenses. Increased computing power.
Insight customers can also run their simulations in the Autodesk cloud, parallel to their own in-house computers. These are billed at flat rates. The cloud is particularly suitable for peak loads or complex calculations with a high number of elements, as it no longer blocks your own hardware and generates manageable costs in the cloud, regardless of whether the calculation takes 3 hours or 3 days. The Autodesk Cloud shows its full power in DoE calculations – parallel operation of up to 43 Insight licenses is possible with this solution.

Boost Solver Capacity with Flexible Solving
Flexible solving lets teams run multiple simulations through local, remote, or secured cloud resources. This keeps analyses moving when internal hardware is busy and gives the Moldflow Insight software more practical value during peak periods.
