Wood material properties for SAP

Wood material properties for SAP

Wood material properties for SAP

(OP)
Has anyone tried to create material property data for wood in SAP?  I know it can't "design" wood sections, but I would at least like to analyze frame sections with wood material properties.  I would greatly appreciate a look at the material property data you used.  Thank you.   

RE: Wood material properties for SAP

In the material section use OTHER

for analysis all you need is a good estimate of modulus of elasticiy E, especially if your system is statically indeterminate.

I think for structural wood, it is about  1000000 psi to 1400000 psi.

Have a look at UBC'97 or IBC 2003 for data
