How to make a thermal analysis using Inventor?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

  I saw thermal properties in the list of Inventor's materials. However, I didn't find how to make a thermal analysis using Inventor MEF. Is it possible?

Not sure what MEF is but none of the Inventor packages do thermal analysis. You need to use something like cf design (now called simulation cfd)

MEF = Finite Element Methodology (in portuguese)

So, if I want a thermal-structural analysis, should I use Autodesk Mechanical Simulation or CFD?
