Good element and frame analysis and design software
What do you like best?
Tedds is simple to use and understand, providing a range of analysis and design proformas that can be used to quickly check or design elements or simple frames. It also includes wind/snow loading calculations that can be difficult and long to complete by hand.
What do you dislike?
I dislike that the software error messages are not descriptive and do not allow the user to understand how to resolve them best.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Tedds is a good piece of software particularly for checking calculations. However, it is advised that users have a full understanding of the proformas and standards.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I often check or complete initial designs for foundations, beams and retaining walls using tedds as it is more efficient than completing them by hand.
