FEA Tools for Precast Steel Header Design

[MindofBarca]

All,

Is there any FEA Program one would recommend for steel hanger/header design for precast hollow core? I am trying to figure out the load paths through these headers so I can properly design one.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.


Thanks in advance,
