Where can I get cheap Structural analysis Software?

Hi Guys
Can anyone help me with any infomation as to where to buy a cheap Structural Analysis and Design Software like Stadd Pro or any other good one. Moreso, any internet link that has any free software downloads would be helpful too. Thanks

zebaba1,

Rumor has it that Enercalc has free strtural analysis software, but I could never get it to work, for some reason. Perhaps you will have beeter results.

Another good free package (the one I use) - ROBOT Millenium - had it's parent company recently bought by AutoDesk. I am unsure if they are still offering a free version.

Finally, you may find something of use here:
