pile/column prestressed concrete software?
my company is looking at purchasing column design software to design precast/prestressed columns or piles in the immediate case.  i was initially asked to create either a spreadsheet or mathcad file showing the interaction diagrams but it was my opinion that it would be cheaper in the long run to purchase software than write a user friendly in-house program that would have to be updated/checked periodically for code updates.  the company owns pca columns (for those of you familiar with it) and i’m looking for it’s equivalent for prestressed concrete design.  
does anyone have recommendations from actual users of this type of software?  i am currently searching the internet.
thanks,

u can try axsys from leap software,it's special in the prestressed columns and walls
look at the new integration between staad and adapt for prestress design.
