Referring to thread607-174447, there is also BRIGADE/Standard and BRIGADE/Plus. Both include predefined vehicles according to Eurocode and can handle the static effects of moving loads.
BRIGADE/Plus can also handle the dynamic effects from moving loads, typically used when analysing bridges subjected to high speed train loads (vehicles according Eurocode predefined).
@ThomasH that originally wrote thread607-174447 points out that there are strong FEM-software on the market but they are not always as strong when it comes to automatic load handling or load combination. BRIGADE has ABAQUS integrated technology, meaning that both the Standard and Plus versions uses the ABAQUS/Standard FE-solver. In addition, BRIGADE/Plus uses the same GUI as ABAQUS but with extra modules, tailored to handle moving loads, prestress, load combinations and to facilitate structural analyses of bridges.
Both software have been on the market for over 20 years, so it should have been a perfect match for @ThomasH already back in 2007
