honestly, I am a noob with regards to autodesk inventor..
what I did was I have created a 3d model of a flexible pneumatic in autocad then imported it to autodesk inventor.. What I was thinking is that I can simulate it directly in Autodesk Inventor but I do not know how. I have thought of creating an air compressor also in autocad then import it again to autodesk inventor but I don't know how will I gonna input the air pressure that I want.

It's in a different family of products:
Simulation Software. CFD stands for
computational fluid dynamics. Steep learning curve is an understatement.
Unless your model is a lot more complicated than the overview you gave, I'd recommend just doing the math and the using the result to set the motion in Inventor. (Look at
Integrated Motion Simulation at the bottom).
If you'd like more guidance, it's be helpful to know what you mean by "flexible pneumatic". Are you taking about moving a piston within a cylinder? Or this this a pneumatic muscle? (Or is this something like putting air in a hose and determining the forces on it?)
