FDTD and FEM programs are generally preferred for complex, non-wire
geometries. IE3D is the most popular for those without a $25,000
budget. But they are all tricky/hard to use to some extent. They all
work.
NEC4 is licensed through Jerry Burke. Roy, W7EL, packages this with a
wonderful interface for an extremely effective, easy to use, and
cost-worthy package which is my preference. I would bet Roy would be
happy to tell you if NEC4 will do what you want.
