Is it possible to utilize gravity in Inventor pro?

Hi, I'm planning on making a roller coaster in Cad, where ideally, it would utilise gravity to push the cart down the tracks(With a simple sliding mechanism to release the cart at the top of the roller coaster). I've been trying to research ideas on how to do this from Google and youtube, but I just can't find a way. Is this idea even doable in Inventor?

@amur986 as far as I know, you can apply "gravity" within the FEA environment, but I do not believe IV2023 has anything built in that acts like cloth material does in Cinea 4D, MODO, Blender, etc. it's just not that type of modeler... yet...?

I'm a bit confused about what you exactly mean. I've attached an image that is similar in concept to what I'm trying to do. Is this possible to replicate just using Inventor Pro?
