    A good place to start is to check out Internet Finite Element Resources at
    http://www.engr.usask.ca/~macphed/finite/fe_resources/
    This is the repository of a vast amount of online information about finite
    element methods, as well as links to a number of downloadable codes
    applicable to just about any field of engineering. Since you are a civil
    engineer (as opposed to those uncivil electrical engineers...), you might be
    more interested in something that is related to stress analysis like Felt
    (see http://www.engr.usask.ca/~macphed/finite/fe_resources/node122.html),
    rather than femm, which is strictly a magnetics program.

    Anyhow, it's always seemed important to me not only to know how to use finite
    element programs, but to understand something about how and why they work.
    By understanding how these methods work, it is possible to avoid doing things
    that give "bad" results.

    Anyhow, good luck.

    Dave.
