Development of the designing process in civil engineering brings the possibility for more complex analysis of the structures. Computational software can be helpful for regular design but also for identification and solving of more specified problems. Finite Element Method (FEM) became one of the most used numerical methods. Numerous commercial programs are based on this method. However, these programs are more complex and require skilled designer to fully utilize their potential. This article brings the lead to apply the FEM method implemented in commercial software ADINA to solve the problem of structural mechanics. It is necessary to connect the theoretical approach of FEM modeling and experience from real case problems. Skilled designer can calibrate the numerical model to obtain relevant outputs. However, certain cases still require a detailed and individual approach during designing that is verified by the in-situ monitoring and observation. Lead of the student to the flexible treatment of the design is one of the important tasks of the educational process. This involves the basic knowledge about appropriate analysis of the problem for effective utilization of the computational software for particular applications even for more complex solutions.
