cking your packageYour TEDDS package contains a CD, and a Quick Start Guide in a DVD case. If your package is ncomplete, please contact your TEDDS supplier immediately.

DS and TEDDS for Word – what’s the difference?You can run TEDDS in two modes. One - which we call just TEDDS - is very simple, very powerfulcompletely self-contained and requires no knowledge of any other package. This mode gives you ato all the major pro-forma calculations and to most utilities. This mode is the best place to start uTEDDS.

The other mode - TEDDS for Word - is even more powerful and is entirely integrated with MicrosoWord - in fact it operates in Word. So, of course, you need Word (and it helps to have a little knowof it). In this mode you can run all the TEDDS pro-formas and utilities and also have all the editinfeatures of Word at your disposal to create really complete and professional looking reports. In thmode you can also write your own pro-forma calculations.

This documentation covers TEDDS.

ducing TEDDS featuresMake no mistake, TEDDS is a very powerful application which allows you to run an extensive ranpro-forma calculations interactively. With TEDDS you can produce sophisticated calculations ovewide engineering-base quickly and very, very easily.

As you create calculations in TEDDS you have access to all the engineering data that you need — properties of sections, safe load tables, graphs… … — for the calculation, without a reference bosight! All this is available, right there, as you run the pro-forma.

TEDDS Calculation — shows a calculation which you have performed in TEDDS. Until you hrun a pro-forma calculation this part of the dialog remains empty.

ulating in TEDDSTEDDS is simplicity itself to use; all you need to do is to pick the calculation you want from the extensive library of calculations. TEDDS runs the calculation automatically and prompts you for tinformation that it requires. If the calculation requires information which you would traditionallobtain from a printed source (a book of section properties, safe load tables, code graphs… …), thTEDDS allows you to pick those details from a data list, a data table or a data graph. Once you havcompleted the input and made the appropriate selections TEDDS will complete the calculations anshow you the results.

Once you have performed the calculation you can save it to disc, send it to a range of destinations,it or recalculate it.

ng a calculationOnce you have started calculating, all of the TEDDS calculations share a similar style of interface. Important interface details are listed below.

ewing a calculationUnderstanding Hidden text — When you create hand calculations of your own, you generally onrecord important steps on paper, intermediate calculations are done on scrap paper, or directly inyour calculator. TEDDS needs to perform these intermediate calculations too, in order to obtain tresults for subsequent use. If all these calculations were visible (and printable), then the complete calculations would be inordinately long and convoluted.

In the left hand column are:

which display details on the calculations being performed,

which display an appropriate sketch for the calculations,

this lists all the current variables, values can be selected from here to

enter into the current interface,

this allows you to send feedback to the development team.

TEDDS handles this by using hidden text – the calculations are in the pro-forma calculation, but normally you neither see or print them. The difference between these TEDDS calculations and thintermediate calculations that you perform on-the-fly, is that the TEDDS calculations are there forto look at if you so require.

To review such calculations simply pick View/Hidden Text and you will see every calculation in thTEDDS pro-forma. To hide the text again simply repeat the process.

Semicolons — Similarly with hand calculations, you will often perform several simple calculatioa single line to save paper, again TEDDS needs to perform these calculations, and some of these arimportant to be dealt with by hiding them – for instance core properties which form the basis for subsequent calculations, and which are necessary for checking purposes. TEDDS allows any numbcalculations to be performed on a single line, but it needs to know where each separate calculatiostarts and ends. For this reason the TEDDS pro-formas use the semicolon (;) to separate calculatio

In order to avoid any distraction to the flow of calculations TEDDS usually hides these semicolonyou want to see them in order to determine the different calculations on a line pick View/Semicoand you will see them. To hide them again simply repeat this process.

Zoom — Generally TEDDS shows the results of a calculation so that everything has the size it willif printed. This may mean that some of the calculations may be too small to review easily on screConversely with a large calculation you may want to see an overview of several pages of calculatitogether. TEDDS allows you to zoom the display to achieve this.

To zoom the display pick View/Zoom»Zoom level to zoom by the appropriate percentage (50%, 1150% or 200%).

Variables — As TEDDS performs calculations it stores the results as variables. Generally you will these in the calculations (some may be in hidden text). If you want to see the final result of a partivariable, then you can access this directly instead of having to search through the entire documen

If you want to view the variables without risking delthem, then click the Document tab which simply shows all the variables in the document. ThSystem tab shows all the pre-defined variables that TEDDS recognises.

erstanding linked tablesWhen your calculation opens a group of tables, you will find that although each table contains diffinformation, the items available in each table are similar.

For instance, if you are performing the design of a strut, the calculation may open a table of sectiproperties, and one of safe loads.

When you make a selection in one table (in our example this could be a strut capacity at a given effective length for a particular section size) Data Tables also selects the same section size in the otable (unless the section does not meet the search criteria you have set for that table).

This means that with a single selection you can set Data Tables to return the section properties anstrut capacity information to your calculations.

You can also recall any existing section from the Data Lists. This process automatically converts tsection into the primary shapes which the Section Properties Tool requires. You can then work witshapes from these recovered sections, combining them with other primary shapes directly and/oprimary shapes generated from other recovered sections.

You can modify the size and position of the primary shapes in a wide variety of ways.

The Section Properties Tool calculates the properties of the overall section based on the shapes it contains and their positions. You return these properties to your calculation ready for their subsequse.

The Section Properties Tool returns the details of the primary shapes and holes which make up yosection to your document as variables. When you recalculate the document you will see the shapexisting primary shapes in the Section Properties Tool ready for modification.

ting the Section Properties ToolIf a particular calculation needs the Section Properties Tool to determine the properties of a sectiothen the Section Properties Tool appears when it is required.

ting sectionsYou can define the sections whose properties you want to calculate in several ways. You can:

• build them up entirely from primary shapes (rectangles, circles, triangles and holes), • recover standard sections from many Data Lists, automatically representing these in the Secti

Properties Tool using the most appropriate primary shapes, • choose a standard section shape and then enter the appropriate details directly.

You can also use the Edit Shape facility to modify any aspect of the shapeprecisely including the location of its centroid. With this method the shape will always be placed point which you specify – it will not snap to the grid.

In many cases you will find that using the grid allows you to create shapes not only with the precisthat you require, but also at exactly the right spot on your canvas.

The Section Properties Tool also allows you to move shapes by:• dragging and dropping them on the canvas (either moving them freehand, or snapping them

nearest grid point), • nudging them, • entering offsets using the keyboard.

ntrol whether the grid is displayedThe grid is displayed as a series of small dots superimposed on your canvas. You can switch the grand off, irrespective of whether or not you want to snap to it. By default the Section Properties Toshows the grid whenever it starts.
