User interface and workflow enhancements 2026
A great deal of effort goes into improving the user interface and workflow for each release, based on feedback from you, our customers.
Each year we send out surveys, release beta builds and encourage you to tell us about your experience so we can make it more enjoyable. We encourage you to let us know, via social media, product forums, surveys, or support, how we can help make your experience even better.
Synergy Performance Improvements
Interactive mesh editing operations such as adding or deleting elements, changing element layers, and moving or merging nodes for 3D studies are now faster. The speed-up is especially noticeable in studies with a large number of elements.

Displaying deflection in the part surface normal direction
We have added a new feature that allows you to view warpage deflection in the surface normal direction, making it easier to compare Moldflow warpage results with laser-scanned deflection data. The traditional Moldflow deflection plots show deformation in coordinate system directions. In contrast, the new Deflection, all effects:Normal Component plot displays the part deflection in the direction of the local surface normal.
Migration to PowerShell Environment
To align with modern IT practices and Microsoft's strategic direction, the command shell provided with "Autodesk Moldflow Insight 2026 Command Shell" and "Autodesk Moldflow Synergy 2026 Command Shell" has transitioned from Command Shell to PowerShell. This upgrade offers enhanced scripting capabilities, object-oriented operations, powerful cmdlets, robust pipeline support, and improved remote management. Users will benefit from a more flexible, efficient, and effective command-line experience. You can learn about the Powershell command syntax from the Powershell documentation site
