Ah - I've never done anything with flexible pneumatic bending joints, but I'd venture if you're looking to simulate something like a dexterous robotics hand, you'll want CFD. You could probably fake it to an extent with a combination of exogenous calculations and Inventor motion simulation, but CFD would be the real deal. Someone else here may know a more elegant Inventor workaround, though. I also bet there's a CFD forum out there, and even if you said you didn't want to use CFD, people on it would probably know Inventor approaches pretty well. Best of luck
