RE: large displacements
Not sure how to analyse beam-columns that way. There is a good text by Levy and Spillers on the subject but I not sure about software packages.
RE: large displacements
Any of the big general purpose FE codes will do this, but you will have to pay a lot for them. It will almost certainly be an add-on to get the large displacement codes.

I have used ADAPTIC which is house-made software in Imperial College London(google it!).
but you can access ZEUS as well:

But apart from software, you have to be able to set up the relevant matrix for geometry of the column to derive out its buckling load factor.
hope it helps...

i found calculix, i will have a look...
i will also try adaptics, if possible
RE: large displacements
do you know how i can get ADAPTICS ?
