Release notes: Tekla Tedds 2024 Service Pack 1
Tedds Application
Learning Tekla Tedds is now easy and smooth with the new Instructor side pane window. The new Instructor side pane window shows instructions for the currently active ribbon command. The Instructor side pane window gives you:
- a short description of the command-
- steps on how to use the command
- short example animations on how to use the command
- links to more comprehensive videos and instructions in Tekla User Assistance
The Instructor is available for all commands on the Ribbon.
Other updates
TEDDS-8763Enhanced the project manager in the Tedds application so that the corresponding document view is automatically shown when an open document is selected in the project tree view.
TEDDS-8764Tedds Application fixed to ensure that if a document window is maximised the Connectivity indicator does not obscure the document min/max/close buttons on the ribbon.
TEDDS-8736Allow more complex expressions to be calculated, nested expression resolution has increased from 16 levels deep to 32 levels deep.
TEDDS-8574Updated all drawing functions which include X, Y, Width and Height parameters to support negative width and height parameters which will result in the shape being drawn in the opposite direction of the appropriate axis (DrawArc, DrawArcIf, DrawRectangle, DrawRectangleIf, DrawEllipse, DrawEllipseIf, DrawFillRectangle, DrawFillRectangleIf, DrawFillEllipse, DrawFillEllipseIf, DrawGrid, DrawGridIf, DrawClipRectangle)
TEDDS-8521Fixed the product release notes being shown on both the first and second launch of the version rather than just the first.
TEDDS-8611Fixed the error "Could not load file or assembly System.Memory Version=4.0.1.1" from occurring when using the Tedds calculator API.

Tekla Structural Design Suiteis revolutionary software that gives engineers the power to analyze and design buildings efficiently and profitably. Fully automated and packed with many unique features for optimized concrete and steel design, Tekla Structural Design Suite helps engineering businesses to win more work and maximize profits, from the quick comparison of alternative design schemes to cost-effective change management and seamless BIM collaboration.

Tekla Structural Designer (TSD) software helps you to model, analyse and design a structure with high accuracy and within a short span of time. It has options to include steel, concrete, timber and composite type of materials in a single structure maintaining a good connection with all elements of different materials. The key feature of drafting options available in TSD is the extension lines which improves the accuracy of connections. TSD provides full freedom to the structural engineer in drafting and modeling by allowing us to import drawings and models from Autocad, STAAD, ETABS and other software at any stage of the project. The immense number of loading options available in TSD decreases the calculations and also improves the quality of results generated. It has codes of almost all the countries saved in it so that the wind load, snow load, seismic load, and their combinations are automatically calculated and applied. The analysis results produced are of utmost accuracy and result diagrams like momentdiagrams, force diagrams, and so on can be even animated. The quality of design results is incomparable and it matches with the most accurate manual design results using standard codes.
TSD generates reports in the format of a DPR which can be exported to any format for sharing like pdf, word and excel. TSD also provides us accurate drawings which can be directly forwarded to the construction site. It has everything in detail so that even a layman can understand all the arrangements. TSD also provides us the freedom to export the content to other drafting, analysis and design softwares at any stage. We can also share the project status with other project members whenever required. The results produced contain every detail from A to Z which helps us in further stages like detailing, DPR preparation, estimating and costing. TSD provides a structural engineer with maximum comfort in all stages of the project with better drafting options, modelling options, loading options, results and connectivity.

Tekla Tedds is easy to use software from Trimble that engineers can rely on for accurate calculations. With Tekla Tedds, engineers can streamline engineering design, avoid errors and present output professionally.
Because Tekla Tedds automates civil and structural calculations, it can improve both engineering productivity and quality: Working becomes more effective than with tedious, time-consuming manual calculations. The solution has a quality assured library of code compliant calculations that are easy to inspect. Users can flexibly create additional calculations and engaging design documents.
- In the face of challenging deadlines and demands, Tekla Tedds is a reliable solution that all engineers can trust to deliver the answers.
- Unlike spreadsheets, with Tekla Tedds you are in control because calculations are transparent for easy review and validation.
- For more professional documentation, desktop publishing features give engineers the power to quickly create and customize project documentation.

With hundreds of structural and civil engineering calculations readily available, the Tekla Tedds Engineering Library means faster, more reliable structural element design in all of your projects. Calculations are professionally designed to meet a range of international design codes, including:
- Eurocodes (Sweden, Norway, Finland, UK, Ireland, Singapore, Malaysia)
- American
- British Standards
- Australian
- Canadian
