Movement simulation problem.

Hello everyone, I am trying to design a bending section for a flexible endoscope. I wonder if there is a possibility to simulate the movement (bending angle) of such a tip in fusion 360?

that is going to be challenging, to be honest.  First, Fusion does not support dynamic changes in a single solid component/body.  So, your current approach is not going to get here.  You might be able to model each little section as a component, and put a ball joint in between each, but my guess is that that approach is not destined to bring you a lot of joy.  Long chains of joints like that are a problem, and ball joints themselves are sometimes difficult to control.  It might be worth a try, but I'm not too hopeful.  Sorry not to have a better answer...

Thank you for answer. I'll try to simulate this structure in other way. I think that I will print scaled model.
