need help choosing structural analysis software
(OP)
My firm is looking to purchase a structural analysis program to model med/light commercial and residential buildings. We currently have a program that analyzes wood frame structures so we're looking for a program that will do steel and concrete structures as well. I have experience using Risa2D and SAP2000. I'm also looking into STAAD.Pro as well but I have no personal experience with that program.
I'm just wondering what program most other structural engineers prefer and why they would recommend one over the other.
