RE: Foundation analysis software
The RISAFoundation software is fairly good for both. But, it's really geared towards a purely structural engineer. You're not going to get a whole lot of fancy non-linear soil assumptions. There is a demo version on our website (Disclaimer: I actually work for RISA) if you want to download a trial version.

RE: Foundation analysis software
I am being hasitating between RISAFoundation and STAAD Foundation.
RE: Foundation analysis software
STAAD Foundation is basically a fancy GUI for the STAAD FEM engine. It's pretty clunky, the output isn't that great, the input is difficult (but a little easier than STAAD Pro). I haven't been too impresed.
If you have a chance to use something different, it's probably better not to go with STAAD at this point.
RE: Foundation analysis software
I think I will go for RISAFoundation then
I appreciate your comments guys
