Insight is available in three levels, each determining how many simultaneous simulations (solves) you can run: Standard: 1 simultaneous local solve. Premium: 3 simultaneous local solves.
Last updated: 2025. Always check Autodesk's current product naming – they periodically rename "Insight Ultimate" to "Moldflow Adviser" or similar.

If you are new to injection molding simulation: Insight is available in three levels, each determining
For a typical design engineer or molding specialist, .
Originally, was the standalone solver developed by Moldflow Corporation. Engineers would prepare a model in a separate pre-processor (like Moldflow Design Link or even third-party CAD software), export a file, and run the analysis through Insight’s command-line interface or basic GUI. Always check Autodesk's current product naming – they
Insight calculates the physics of the injection molding process. It can run locally on your machine or be sent to a high-performance server or the cloud.
Synergy + Insight together (launched from Synergy).
is the solver engine—the "compute server."
Provides wizards for creating cooling circuits, runner systems, and mold boundaries.
