Wood simulation on Fusion 360

[Anonymous]

I use a MacBook air. I work on airplane models and use wood as main material. I need to run simulation I mean static loads etc. FEA on wood. Is there any alternative to fusion 360. (Maybe add wood sim in fusion) What can I use for mac to study wood or i’ll have to get solidworks ?

static test when initiated the wood is described as Non-linear material and fusion can’t run the simulation.

It says some components use a material with invalid properties.

Hello @Anonymous 

it will be a bit difficult to study static test on Nonlinear Materials 

Because natural properties may-not be same all the time 
it may changes from tree to tree :[

What type of analysis would you run in SolidWorks? (trick question)

But you can set up own material If you have appropriate material properties in Fusion 360.
