Conventional method of structural analysis adopted for practical design of most of the structures, ignores the effect of compressibility of soil and flexibility of foundation. Inclusion of soil and foundation in the analysis is likely to influence the computed values of stresses in the super structure members. The literature does not appear to provide much information regarding the magnitude of such influence and the effect of different parameters involved in the system. So, a comparative study of the stresses computed from such “integratedanalysis” with those obtained without including soil and foundation in the analysis, would be very useful. The analysis of complex structures like frames, trusses and beams is carried out using the Finite Element Method (FEM) in software products like ANSYS and STAAD. In this study, compare the deformation results of simple and complex structures obtained using these products. STAAD,RAM ,ETABS,SAP2000 are used by civil engineers to analyse structures like beams and columns.
