Moldflow 101 and Moldflow Insight Fundamentals will introduce the core concepts, workflows, and best practices for using Autodesk Moldflow. Designed for both non-users and existing users, these courses cover how to set up simulations, understand software capabilities and limitations, and interpret key analysis results to support better design decisions.
These classes can be bundled for five days in-person or online, giving students the opportunity to save time and money.
Moldflow 101
Course Structure
Moldflow 101 reviews the initial inputs and options with simulation and how those decisions affect the result outputs. Students will apply best practices to evaluate Autodesk Moldflow analyses, developing the skill to identify both optimal and suboptimal results. Ultimately, this knowledge translates into confident design decisions. A heavy focus will be placed on results interpretation.
Utilizing Moldflow Communicator, students will be able to apply the course concepts by evaluating a completed simulation by the end of this course.
