Moldflow Announces the Release of Moldflow Communicator 2.0

  
    
  
  
    
      Moldflow Corporation (NASDAQ:MFLO), the leading provider of plastics 
      simulation software that empowers more users to optimize more designs 
      across their enterprise, today announced the release of Moldflow 
      Communicator™ 2.0, a free simulation 
      results viewer that allows distributed product teams to visualize, 
      quantify and compare Moldflow analysis results. New features allow the 
      Communicator to be accessed by a wider audience and updates to the user 
      interface and new operating system support should result in increasing 
      its position as the leading plastics simulation results viewer.
    
    
      One of the key new enhancements to Communicator 2.0 is support of 
      analysis results from Moldflow 
      Plastics Advisers® (MPA®) 
      8.1. MPA users can use Communicator files to report their simulation 
      results to other members of a design-to-manufacturing team, regardless 
      of whether or not they are Moldflow customers. Support for MPA results 
      has the potential to significantly broaden the Communicator installed 
      base with new users involved in the design of plastic parts or injection 
      molds.
    
    
      In addition, an updated user interface continues to provide intuitive 
      navigation through Communicator functionality with the most frequently 
      used features available at the click of a button. The interface will be 
      as easy to use for non-Moldflow customers as it is familiar to existing 
      Moldflow customers. New support for the Microsoft Windows Vista® 
      operating system will help speed product adoption and 64-bit 
      architecture support will allow for the efficient handling of large 
      models.
    
    
      Murali Annareddy, Director of Product Marketing at Moldflow Corporation, 
      states: “Moldflow Communicator 1.0 and 1.1 
      have been extremely popular with Moldflow 
      Plastics Insight® users and their extended 
      development teams, with over 7,500 product downloads since its initial 
      release. Now for the first time, our MPA customers can start realizing 
      the same benefits of sharing dynamic analysis insight with clients, 
      suppliers and design team members, all in an effort to make more 
      informed decisions, reduce development times, improve part quality and 
      speed time to market.”
    
    
      Availability
    
    
      Moldflow Communicator 2.0 is free and available for download now to both 
      Moldflow customers and non-customers. It runs on 32- and 64-bit hardware 
      running Microsoft Windows Vista® and XP®.
