Are there nonlinear soil elements available in Algor?

Are there nonlinear soil elements available in Algor?

(OP)
I would like to undertake an FEA of a large-span culvert with heavy loads.  The culvert material is relatively heavy gage 6"x2" corrugated steel.  I have used CANDE89 for 2D plane-strain solutions, but the DOS-based program input and output has become very cumbersome.  I have been utilizing nonlinear interface elements at the soil-pipe interface as well as nonlinear steel pipe (beam) elements and nonlinear soil elements.  Has anyone used Algor for nonlinear soil modeling?  Thanks.
