It really has an immense library of calculations (Both Structural and Civil) that are easy to check. Also, the best thing is it eliminates repetitive calculations. **What do you dislike about Tekla Tedds?** As the software have regular updates, it might have codes in the future which are currently missing. Software needed more optimization as loading time is more if compared. Also, more cost-effective software is available in the market. **What problems is Tekla Tedds solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tekla Tedds is very simple and easy to use which helps in saving time and it really eliminates the repetitive exhaustive calculation and provides reliable calculations. ### 3. Technically seamless and compatible **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** DINESH MISTRY . | Marketing executive, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** August 07, 2022 **What do you like best about Tekla Tedds?** There are alot things which tekla tedds does far better then it's compititors.some of which are providing enormous amounts of calculation just a click away and along with that updating the software time to time. **What do you dislike about Tekla Tedds?** Tekla tedds doing all the right things in every manner but still it's not perfect and have some room for improvements. For instance tekla is only available in english which limits it's user base to only English known audience. If it provides some more language options then it can really get places around the world **What problems is Tekla Tedds solving and how is that benefiting you?** Tekla tedds solves alot of problems for a lot of its users. From which somee are providing enormous amounts of calculating formulas for engineering perspective, making documentations of the work seamless and easy to understand. ### 4. Excellent software but it can be better. **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Kiong Lee W. | Civil & Structural Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** March 29, 2022 **What do you like best about Tekla Tedds?** 2D analysis is the best function for me, due to its flexibility in analysing a member or structure. Besides, tedds can output a very proper design report which helps us save a lot of paper works. **What do you dislike about Tekla Tedds?** Still coming to Tedds's 2D analysis function, it could be better if adding design function to it. Besides that, I think it is better to include a diagram which show the axis when inputing the directional properties like moment My, Mx, so that we are confident on the value that we input. One more thing, please allow us to adjust the scale of figure when outputing the report. **What problems is Tekla Tedds solving and how is that benefiting you?** Most often used by me is the 2D analysis when doing analysis on a truss, just it lacking of design function. It could be even better if we can output the truss from or send our truss to Tekla Structural Designer. ### 5.
