Autodesk Inventor

I tried to find the buckling analysis from Inventor FEA but no clue. I searched here and found 1 related thread almost 4 years ago.

I am wondering if Autodesk has improved some on this particular analysis for these years ?

I would like to see buckling analysis in inventor too and i am sure many others would as well, when is it likley to happen?  is it being worked on?

Have you had a look at the column calculator? It does some buckling calcs but obviously is limited when compared to FEA techniques. It can't cope with anything other than straight extrusions either but it's better than nothing.
