Where to find the properties of PLA materials

Simulation Resistance of materials
1

Hello, in SolidWorks, material editing does not include the PLA, nothing either in the solidworks materials database (web version), impossible to find the properties anywhere.

I would like to add PLA in order to carry out a simulation.

Does anyone have the properties of PLA that I can add it as custom materials?

Thank you, but I had already seen this document and it doesn't tell me how to fill in the fields in SW:

What type of model: 'Linear Elastic Isotropic', 'Orthotropic', 'Non-Linear, 'Von Mises...

Fish coeficient? Modulus of elasticity? Tangent module, etc...

I don't know how to match the fields and in my opinion there are some missing.

I don't understand why PLA is not there, it's still a common material!

Good evening

Here is a complementary source with a choice that allows you to export to SW what may be worth comparing with the data you have entered

Kind regards
