FEA on composite materials in Inventor

I am running Autodesk Inventor Professional 2010.  I use FEA a lot on steel and aluminum structures but was wondering if Inventor is capable of doing FEA on composite structures.  I personally want to estimate the strength of some carbon fiber tubing but wasn't sure whether or not I would be getting good data from it.  I know that composites don't yield and was wondering how or if that will affect anything.  Also, if you can do an FEA on a composite does anyone know of a solid website to get material properties from?

 

Thanks

Hi dpsmith85,

 

Inventor stress analysis does not support composite materials for structural analysis.

 

Thanks,
Ravi Burla (Autodesk)

Has support for composites been added or is it on the roadmap?

It has not been added to 2012.

You will need Autodesk Simulation (was Algor).

Autodesk doesn't generally comment on future plans.
