can autocad simulate conditions?

I'm a student and i just finished designing a balsa wood bridge using what i've learned thus far in autocad, and now i want to test a load on it if i can but i dont know how. So is there a way to simulate conditions on autocad, and if so how?

    You'll need AutoCAD Inventor Simulation Suite which is an extension of AutoCAD for performing stress tests & motion analysis like the one you've described.

    I'm a professional boat designer and use tools like 3D Boat Design to run simulations over water surfaces. It helps me test the behavior of boats in real-world conditions -- wind, hydrostatics & load.

    With some modifications, it may help your cause as well.
