Performing FEA on Wooden Trusses
Performing FEA on Wooden Trusses
(OP)
I'm in the process of performing FEA on a wooden truss assembly in Cosmos Adv. Professional. Truss is made from Wetern Hemlock Fir-construction grade. For material properties, I've added mod. of elasticity (1.2e6 psi) and poisson's ratio(0.3 ?). How are results from the FEA interpreted for factor of safety. I'm accustomed to analyzing steel structures with yield and ultimate strength values. How is this performed with wood?
