Wood Structural Panel Bending Stiffness and Strength Capacities

I'm working with a contractor who wants to know if he can drive a lift on a 3/4" OSB subfloor nailed to wooden joists on 16" centers. The lift weighs 3,000 lbs, so each tire exerts 750 lbf. I want to determine the stress in the OSB and am using the F_bS = 500 lbf-in/ft of panel width value from NDS AWS 2018 Table M9.2-1 to determine the result. It would be great to have a module that models Figure M9.2-2 of NDS AWS 2018. Thanks!
