Tekla Tedds 2023 ⚡

Tekla Tedds 2023 focuses on bridging the gap between engineering calculations and BIM detailing through enhanced integration and expanded design libraries. The update aims to reduce manual data transfer and improve the reliability of multi-material designs. Core Integration Enhancements

The 2023 version introduces several updates designed to streamline collaborative workflows within the Trimble Tekla software suite:

Seamless Design-to-Detailing: Users can now link Tedds calculations directly to Tekla Structures components. This is particularly effective for steel connection design, allowing engineers to perform end-to-end connection checking that detailers can see and use immediately.

Enhanced Integrator: An updated Tekla Tedds Integrator automates the workflow for simple steel connections. It allows for more transparent linking of custom calculations to the 3D model, significantly reducing manual data entry.

Tedds for Word Productivity: Performance improvements in the Tedds for Word interface mean documents open faster, and the calculation process can start up to twice as quickly as previous versions. Expanded Calculation Library

The 2023 release adds specific new capabilities for steel and timber design across various international codes: tekla tedds 2023

Steel Splice Design (EN1993): New Eurocode calculations are available for:

Beam Splice Design: Checks cover and end plates between identical sections subject to bending, shear, and axial forces.

Column Splice Design: Evaluates bearing and non-bearing plates for axial forces and structural integrity (tying force).

Hollow Section Splices: New checks for tension-only splices.

Retaining Walls: The Retaining Wall Analysis & Design tool has been updated for reinforced concrete or masonry walls, following Eurocode, American, and Australian standards. Tekla Tedds 2023 focuses on bridging the gap

Multi-Material Workflows: There is a specific focus on Timber/Wood design improvements, specifically enhancing how timber calculations from Tedds support the larger Tekla Structural Designer 2023 models. Operational Improvements

Exception Reporting: The software now better catches and reports all types of calculation exceptions, which can be viewed via tooltips for faster troubleshooting.

UI Clarity: Service Pack updates have clarified the user interface by making "droplists" and "edit droplists" visually distinct to prevent selection errors. Tekla Tedds 2023 - Trimble User Assistance

System Requirements and Compatibility

Collaboration

Tedds 2023 introduces a new ".TEDDx" file format (based on XML) that is version-agnostic. You can share a calculation file with a client using an older version of Tedds, and they can still view the inputs (though they may not run it).

4. Smarter Calculation Engine & Unit Handling

The underlying calculation engine has been optimized for multi-threaded processing. This means complex iterative designs (e.g., pile cap optimization, slender column checks) run noticeably faster. The unit-sensitive equation solver now catches dimensional mismatches in real time, warning users before an invalid result propagates through a design sheet. System Requirements and Compatibility
