Tekla Tedds review by David Chadwick for Construction Computing magazine
An essential tool for structural and civil engineers that is frequently overlooked - perhaps because of its ability to handle engineering calculations and produce professional results simply and without fuss.
Tekla Tedds is one of those Cinderella applications that sit in the background, supporting the exciting design-oriented software but lacking the glamour that comes with its more creative sisters. It fulfills the needs of the design engineer, though, by providing a powerful set of functions to automate and solve the many complex mathematical problems of the design.
To tell the truth, I have wanted to review the software for some time, but have always abandoned the idea in favor of some new features of its sibling applications - Tekla Structures and Tekla Structural Designer, or the glamour of a case study highlighting the use of either of these in one project or another. But, enough of this allegory - I spoke at length to Ben Goldsworthy of Trimble learning about the extent of the software's capabilities, and the new features in the latest version, recently released.
