Does anyone know if Inventor can be used to model concrete components with steel embedments like a plate with nelson studs?

RE: Inventer for Modeling Concrete Components
As far as FEA (stress analysis), the built-in "Ansys-Lite" solver is not capable of modelling mulitple-part assemblies, multiple materials, etc. The full version of Ansys would have to be purchased; at that point you would probably want to investigate other FEA software packages.
RE: Inventer for Modeling Concrete Components
The FEA would be done with other programs. Basically we need to model a solid with another solid inside of it of a different material.
Example: A precast beam has rebar and other steel items embedded in the concrete solid. Would one be able to model this with Inventor? See attached drawing showing a reinforcing section.
