Steel frames structural analysis software. Not expensive

Steel frames structural analysis software. Not expensive

(OP)
Dear Community Professionals,
I am working at small consulting company as consultant (full time at university). The company needs in not expensive structural analysis software (for large portions of monotonous work). More particularly steel frames linear (only) static researching. I have experience in Autodesk Robot Structural and Bentley STAAD Pro (academic versions). Both of them are pretty. I really do not know what is better for me :). But they are very expensive.
Company asks me to find something fast, easy, not expensive...
I woild like to ask some advice.

Thanks,
Looks great. Probably will try Demo...
1595$
two-three variants more for tender will be very appreciated.

We have found RISA 3D to be the best buy.  For less than the maintenance on our STAAD software, RISA has been our staff favorite.

Deep Thanks for fast answers.

Like RISA - once you have it and it works the way you want - just update it every few years!!

Is it possible? For commercial purposes...
Customer (steel constructions new line) asks about verification documentation (CAE solutions reports).

My vote would be VisualAnalysis from IES (www.iesweb.com).  They have different levels available.  Analyzes steel, concrete, wood etc.
