Entering Material Mechanical Properties from MatWeb Manually - Values???

I'm trying to create FR4 (flame retardant version of G10 or Garolite) in the Inventor Materials Library.  Inventor is asking for some pretty standard information like the Young's Modulus, Poisson's Ratio and Shear Modulus. Unfortunately MatWeb does not provide this seemingly basic information. Has anyone figured out how to extract useful (meaningful) values from MatWeb to feed into Inventor?

I've taken the Tensile Strength, English values as Yield and Ultimate Stress Values under Tensile Strength in Inventor

 

But for the remaining values, I'm at a loss.

 

I'm working from:

Isn't Garolite a composite material?

 

Given that Inventor analysis is limited to isotropic materials - why do you need any property other than Density in Inventor (or are you going to be running analysis in some other program)?
