I've been using Ubuntu since Warty came out and it perfectly suits me for my personnal needs.

I'm just curious - does anybody know some structural/civil engineering software for linux, something similar to SAP2000 and alikes or more simple. I've googled a bit, but didn't found anything interesting. Thank you for your sugestions.

I'm a mechanical engineer, but most civil's I know use ANSYS. (http://www.ansys.com/industries/civil-engineering.asp) I believe ANSYS is available for Linux. From what I can find, it appears they only support Red Hat.

From what I remember in college, there are some civil programs out there that still run in a DOS environment (I think it was soil density or hydrology software), you may want to look into DOSbox if you have some of these programs.

Firstly see at here http://www.caelinux.com/CMS/

For bodies (brick-elements) - www.calculix.de (http://www.calculix.de)

For beam elements - see http://members.ziggo.nl/wolsink/
(it works well in Linux with wine)

For plane frames and trusses you may use even OpenOffice!
