No simulation tab on my inventor pro 2018

I'm trying to run the CFD  manifold tutorial. First step is to open the .iam in inventor. 2nd step is to launch the model via the simulation tab and active model.  I do not have a simulation tab. Where is it?

 

Cheers

Check that the Simulation Add-In is loaded.

 

Tools > Options > Add-ins

 

Scroll down until you find whatever add-in sounds like it pertains to the Simulation. Ensure that the boxes are both checked for "Load Automatically" And "Loaded/Unloaded".

Thanks for the help,

I have 3 simulation add-ins and they are all automatic. I would have thought I'd have one for CFD...

You are missing a step or sequence. that screenshot refers to Simulation Mechanical and if you have that installed then follow >>this<< link to install the Inventor Plugin for it.
