Using Inventor for Arm torque calcs

Rather than estimation and integrating the weight of an arm + whatever it is lifting to calculate what kind of gearing/motor to use... is there a feature in inventor that can give you those numbers? It'd be nice to simply put whatever object that needs to be lifted (with accurate weight) at the end of the arm and see the actual numbers.
