Activate the guide, and learn the various actions that close the guide.
The Simulation Guide helps you to prepare a model for simulation and interpret results, and to navigate simulation workflows. The Guide opens in a new, dockable window. Only one Guide window can be open during your Inventor session.
Activate the guide on the ribbon
Click Stress Analysis tab 
Guide panel Guide 
Activate the guide on a context menu
- In the browser, right-click the appropriate node:
- Constraints
Modify constraints at any time in the process, report the forces and moments for the constraint type, and suppress constraints. - Loads
Define or modify load parameters, and suppress loads before you rerun the analysis. - Contacts
Activate the Automatic Contacts, evaluate the component, and establish contact conditions for the simulation. - Results
Make the selected simulation result current, and display it in the graphics region. Available only after results are calculated.
- Constraints
