for steel material, ANSYS & ABAQUS are good, but i think ANSYS is more easier than ABAQUS, but with concrete material ANSYS is very bad, in concrete material i strongly you, used ABAQUS, totaly i think ANSYS is more easier than ABAQUS, specially modelling in ANSYS is very easy, i have no knowledge about othe FEA Softwares (opensys is better for soil modeling)
