Heat transfer solver?

Dear colleagues,

I would like to ask you about heat transfer solvers, but first i have to descirbe my problem:

I would like to solve some small case: a simply supported beam (or any other structure), exposed to uniformly distributed load (or any other type of loads) and fire conditions (i.e. heat transfer: steady-state/transient, linear/nonlinear) = complex analisys of such case - structural cases.

And now question:

Which solver with user-friendly interface or without could you recommend? What about free software?
