Environmental Impact
The new Energy Usage Indicator in Autodesk Moldflow Adviser displays the relative energy requirements to produce a part from a given material, based on injection pressure, cooling time, geometry, and part thickness.
Resin Identification Codes are now also included with all thermoplastics in the Moldflow material database. With access to these codes, designers can more easily select recyclable materials, as well as those that are more in line with sustainability initiatives.
3D Analysis Speed and Performance Improvements
Significant enhancements have been made to the 3D Fill+Pack solver, so you can get more accurate results faster. The speed improvement is achieved through the new Autodesk-developed AMG (algebraic multi-grid) matrix solver, which is faster and uses less RAM than the previous solver.
Dual Domain Fill+Pack Solver Optimization
Reduced Memory Requirements and Faster Solution Times
Internal tests show that a typical analysis using an unfilled material and default process settings now requires significantly less memory and runs about 5% faster than the same analysis performed by the previous solver.

Advanced Gate Location Functionality
Autodesk Moldflow Adviser 2010 has a new Advanced Gate Locator algorithm with 2 key breakthrough capabilities:
- The ability to simultaneously search for and recommend up to 10 gate locations
- The ability to exclude specific regions of the part geometry from inclusion in the gate location considerations
