The first one is well known in the southbound of the country, the second one is used in many countries, as long as it can deal with European codes and the last one is widespread used throughout all the country. Observe how a hypothetical structure is modeled using these programs, and what sort of tests and criteria they adopt, and the resulting differences in final stresses is what can be found in this work. The softwares differ in the kind of analysis, at the modeling of the structure, at the loading step and distribution stresses. So were created spreadsheets to use as a reference to compare the structure's global results, such as the total load on the foundation and the columns.
