Mateen Ali

most of the work is being done by ANSYS.its more frequently used so go for it

P. Pravin Kumar Venkat Rao

Dear Subhrasmita,

Ansys is more used in industries and Abaqus is more used in academics. Both have their own positive and negative points. Each software is useful. The solving techniques are a bit different. But, I will suggest for modelling RC, it's better to go for SAP, or Etabs, or Opensees. Nowadays, people are using Perform 3D exclusively for the non-linear modelling of RC structures. For masonry, you may use Abaqus for modelling at the component level. But for complete structural analysis, you need to use the TREMURI programme or Equivalent frame modelling using SAP software.

Best regards,

Pravin Kumar
