I need to perform a simulation on a pipe-like shape made of FRP.  The actual construction is unknown however for this effort we can assume a repeating 0-45-90 style layup createing a 0.50" (12mm) thick wall.

Can anyone provide insight into what parameters to use to create the material item in the Simulation library?  It is understood FRP layouts differ greater from manufacturer to manufacture but for this project an approximation is adequate.  Assume fiberglass cloth and epoxy resin.

Thanks
