Lumber sizing software?

Does anyone know of any freeware or shareware that sizes lumber, whether dimensional or engineered, such as LVL. I can do the statics and load calculations, but it takes time to size the lumber. So is there any free or relatively inexpensive software that people can recommend that I can enter the loads and it will size the lumber? Also steel. This is for residential design. I like to design for steel beams in the foundation, but limit framing members to wood products, dimensional or engineered.
