AutoCAD Training Overview

The Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight Fundamentals 2015 training material consists of two training guides: Theory & Concepts, and Practice. The Theory & Concepts guide discusses the theory, background, and workflows used in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight to teach students to apply Moldflow analysis techniques to their parts. In the Practice guide students are provided with exercises to practice the workflows that have been discussed.

Overall, the goal is to teach students to become more efficient at creating digital prototypes, running analyses and interpreting the results of most of the analysis types available in Autodesk Simulation Moldflow Insight.
