software design metal structures

[ferodos]

Hello everyone, I am brand new to the forum and hope to have posted my question in the right section, otherwise I apologize from now on to the mods.
my question is this, I would like to find a software of very easy use to calculate a fixed structure for the housing of the photovoltaic and for a solar tracker.
As they are very simple structures, I don't need a software that has an exaggerated potential, but that only tells me based on loads, such as profiles and what thicknesses to use, and also that if possible, me calculate the size of the bolt and the separate of the welds.
I hope some of you will be so kind to help me.

Strange. . .
- drawings the beams
- create a section, and apply it to beams
- create a material, and apply it to beams
- create loads and apply them to beams or knots
- Save.
- solve

What is not clear to you?
