Dear Moldflow users!
I’m very happy to let you know that the Autodesk Moldflow 2016 products are live and available for download right now. This years’ release is by far the biggest release in Moldflow’s long history.
We are proud of the Moldflow 2016 release, and thankful of the extraordinary amount of support and input we have received from the user community throughout the development of our 2016 release. We extensively used the requests in the Autodesk Idea Station and our User Experience (UX) team conducted interviews, usability studies and detailed interviews on specific features with many of you. The result is many smaller and larger usability improvements that will make the use of your Moldflow product more efficient and enjoyable in this year’s release.
For a high level overview of the Moldflow 2016 release, you can follow the link to the Autodesk® Moldflow® 2016 product release page.
