SCL (structural composite lumber) refers to materials such as laminated veneer lumber (LVL), parallel strand lumber (PSL) and laminated strand lumber (LSL).
WoodWorks Sizer includes beam, column, joist and wall database files for the following materials
If you use a different SCL material you should create a database file for this material with WoodWorks Database Editor. Do not modify the a proprietary database file to implement a different company's material because the program identifies the original company's materials and may implement modification factors and design procedures specific to that product.
WoodWorks Sizer calculates strength (moment and shear) and stiffness (EI) values according to the provisions in CSA O86 Chapter 15
