Autodesk Moldflow Simulation Software 2026.0

Autodesk has released Autodesk Moldflow Simulation Software 2026.0. This release introduces new features and enhancements that expand the capabilities, enhance solution accuracy, and reduce time to solution.

Moldflow 2026.0 Release overview

Below is a very Important and highlights, also you can read the detailed MFIA release notes here and MFAA release notes here

Release highlights
The main features for the 2026 release are:
- A new warpage result that allows for easier comparison between Moldflow and 3D scanned data on real parts.
- Very targeted performance improvements modelling operations (eg. Merge nodes on large 3D models).
- The ability to save animation in .mp4 format.
- Export of .zip project archives and .mfr files (Communicator files) larger than 2Gb.
- STAMP is now the default shrinkage model for 3D models with shrinkage data.
- Speed improvements on 3D solves and meshing.
Besides this, there are other smaller improvements and new capabilities, and we fixed 91 bugs from previous releases.

Very Important!
- The 3D flow solver speed improvements are due a more efficient way results are handled, which involved a change in the results data format. Synergy, Adviser and Communicator 2026 will be able to read both the new, and the old file format, but prior versions of Moldflow products will not be able to read results in the new file format. When an 3D flow analysis run in 2026 is read in the 2025 version you will only see ‘Fill time’ results and in 2024 or earlier you will not see any flow results (because the fill time results format was changed in the 2025 release and we now have additional changes in 2026). We recommend people, when moving to the 2026 release, to recommend people they work with to also install the 2026 release (this includes Communicator). We realize this is painful and not following long standing precedence, but the file format change creates a significant speed improvement going forward.
- A few features have been removed from the product. Most of them are infrequently used features, however the export of animations in .avi and .gif were frequently used. The 3rd party components used are old and were not sufficiently maintained. The animation export is replaced by the .mp4 export. The .mp4 export is supported with an API, and areas in the product are export animations, like the report generators, have been updated. However, if you have your own scripts that export animations, you will need to update them. This should be straightforward by replacing the old .gif or .avi file name in the script to .mp4

For example:
- Viewer.SaveAnimation "file location\FileName.gif" or
- Viewer.SaveAnimation "file location\ FileName.avi"

Can be renamed to:
- Viewer.SaveAnimation "file location\ FileName.mp4"

Getting started
The Moldflow 2026 release is a full new release that can be installed next to your other Moldflow releases. As with the installers in the last few years, Moldflow Insight Multi-user (aka. Network licenses) can use either the Moldflow Insight Ultimate or Moldflow Synergy installer (as they are the exact same, for Windows).


Using the ‘Custom Install’ option, you can create an installer that includes license type and license server information, and IT Administrators can create deployments that can help with the roll out across an organization. During creation of the custom install/deployment you can specify the license type you use; ‘Network’ or ‘Autodesk ID’ (for named user). Creating a deployment this way is highly encouraged specifically for companies using Token Flex (TFLEX) licenses.


Autodesk Moldflow simulation software provides plastic injection molding and compression molding insights to improve manufactured part quality. Advanced tools and a simplified user interface help you address manufacturing challenges such as part warpage, cooling channel efficiency, material selection, and cycle time reduction.
Moldflow Adviser provides manufacturability guidance and directional feedback for thermoplastic part and mold designs through high-level material flow, mold cooling, and part warpage results.
Moldflow Insight provides detailed material flow, cooling, and warpage results for both injection molding and compression molding processes. Additional control on materials, machines, molds, and processes is possible with Moldflow Insight. Automation with scripts/API accelerate setup and post-processing capabilities. Thermoplastic and thermoset materials are supported, along with customization of materials for part inserts and mold inserts. Advanced molding methods, such as gas-assisted injection molding, injection compression molding, co-injection molding, microcellular injection molding, and many more, are available to discover the best option for your part. Moldflow Insight also has advanced customization of the process including the ability to select the molding machine, specify valve gates, adjust mold materials, solve for a Design of Experiments (DOE) or parametric study, and much more.
