    Tekla Tedds Key Benefits

    Quality assured library

    Tedds consistently and quickly delivers answers. You can avoid errors and streamline code compliant design delivery thanks to a quality assured library of regularly updated multi-material calculations.

    Transparent Calculations

    Tedds’ calculations are easily visible for rapid review and validation. Unlike hard-to-check spreadsheets, Tedds puts you in control with calculations that are easy to inspect and approve.

    Professional Documentation

    With Tedds’ desktop publishing features, engineers have the power to quickly create and customize content output for professional project documentation that’s consistently competitive.

    Tekla Tedds is Ideal for:

    Frame Analysis

    Tekla Tedds is a reliable, single software solution for both calculations and frame analysis that transforms the way engineers work. With Tedds structural frame analysis software, you can easily define structural frames such as trusses or continuous beams in 2D, analyze them, link the results to calculations and insert them into a document.

    Structural Members, Beam and Column Design

    Beams and columns are among the most important structural members and when designing them, you need speed and reliability to meet tight deadlines and changing demands. Tedds supports early design decisions by automating repetitive calculations in the face of complex situations and rigorous requirements. Quick calculations let you easily select beam and column size and clear documentation professionally details options.

    Connection Design

    In addition to working closely with our steel connection design partners both locally and globally, Tedds can help with simple connection design for steel, precast concrete, and timber structures.

    Foundation Design

    The foundation is one of the most important parts of a structure—and one of the costliest. Uncomplicated, constructible and economical foundations are the basis of successful structural design on both straightforward and difficult sites. Tedds improves structural and civil engineering productivity and quality by replacing repetitive time-consuming hand calculations with automated foundation design calculations.

    Structural Load Analysis Software

    Every structural design project is about safe and affordable loading. Be it single or multi-family housing, commercial buildings or industrial structures, Tedds can help you quickly address the challenge of code compliance without over specification. With Tedds, you can harness the power of automation, speeding up engineering design accuracy so you can spend less time loading and more time designing.

    Retaining Wall Design and Wall Panel Design

    Whether it’s an independent structure or part of a building, Tedds ensures easy retaining wall design, as well as designing types of wall panels. You can count on Tedds’ automation for fast and accurate structural and civil calculations and forget about time-consuming hand calculations and spreadsheets. Tedds has an easy to inspect, quality assured library of multi-material code compliant calculations for wall panel and retaining wall design.

    Floor and Roof Analysis

    Tekla Tedds offers dependable multi-material element design for floors and roofs. By replacing the need for repetitive hand calculations, Tedds’ floor and roof analysis speeds up the design of slabs, stairs, joists and rafters. Thanks to Tedds’ extensive, easy to inspect, quality assured library of multi-material code compliant calculations, time-consuming calculations and spreadsheets for floors and roofs are a thing of the past, and effortless floor and roof analysis the future.
