Finite element analysis, & inventor

Hello;
My boss was asking about trying to do some fea, & was wondering what the capabilities where with inventor 2008. I plugged it in in search, & index, & nothing came up. Can anything be done with inventor 2008? What add ons, or directions might be the best way to go if the capabilities are lacking, & for about how much money?
Thanks in advance for any input,
rob d. (inv 2008)

>to do some fea

exactly what kind of FEA was he trying to do? IV Pro offers limited stress analysis.

You can perform structural analysis on parts. 
So here's what it does not do: thermal, fluid
flow, transient analysese, etc.  It will also not perform
analysis on assemblies.  It has a very basic implementation of the ANSYS
engine.

>structural analysis on parts

yes, to add to the list of "does nots": not valid for large strains and only valid in linear region of stress-strain curve for material (i.e. no plastic strain).
