Is there a way to simulate the movement of a gear or a bolt to make sure they will work correctly when 3d printed ?

You can make your animation simulation with the Nodal Elephant by Max SMirnov inside Moi!
But that is not exactly a "Physic" system! No repulse between objects! (or you can code it but seems enormous work! :)

Sorry no MoI does not have that type of simulation function in it. You will need to export your model to a different program to perform that type of analysis on it.

Fusion 360 might be a good one to try for that.
