can inventor simulate blanking and piercing process

1 Answer

Define simulate.
Inventor will update mass properties when you use the hole command in the sheet metal mode.
If you want to "simulate" the process of piercing a hole in a part as an animation, you have to use the Inventor Studio to animate the constraints of the punch tool to the part and make the process visible in that way.
Fill the hole with a blank and let that move with the punch tool or something like that.
