Spinning Toy Top Simulation

SHHS — Sat, 02 Mar 2019 04:56:53 GMT

Is there a way to apply a 3d model dynamic simulation & motion analysis to a spinning top model in Fusion 360? We are creating complex designs and want have a way to run a spin simulation first. I came across this example using Solid Works, but was wondering if it could be done in Fusion 360.
Thanks

Does this mean that Fusion 360 cannot perform dynamic simulation like this? I do not have access to Inventor and I was hoping to be able to make it work with Fusion. I have 'faked' a simulation with Maya's dynamics, but I want something a lot more accurate.

You need Gravity, Forces, Friction 3D Contact Joint.
