Tedds Vs. Enercalc

Tedds Vs. Enercalc

Tedds Vs. Enercalc

(OP)
This topic has been discussed many times in the past. I am looking for current opinions.

I am getting tired of all the bugs in Enercalc and am considering switching to Tedds.

I'm looking for opinions on both software packages

Thanks

RE: Tedds Vs. Enercalc

Tedds has a free trial version, or use too. I used the trial version for a while and found that it was okay. We used it mostly for concrete anchor design and I found it overly conservative. The report printing was very well done though.

RE: Tedds Vs. Enercalc

Does anyone know what the costs are associated with Tedds as compared to Enercalc?

RE: Tedds Vs. Enercalc

As far as comparison, we used to use Enercalc, now we used TEDDS. Figure that out for yourself. I've been designing concrete for dang near 40 years and TEDDS finds things I never knew were in the code.
As far as costs, I'm almost positive that unless there's a single user license, TEDDS will cost more. But the presentation and assistance is well worth it.

RE: Tedds Vs. Enercalc

Probably why everyone uses Enercalc. I know a single user license costs about $2,200 for Enercalc and I thought that was a bit steep. So it Enercalc is the more economical solution I can just imagine.

RE: Tedds Vs. Enercalc

Tedds will cost more, the upfront cost makes it hurt to switch, year to year they are close. i would love to change and no longer use Enercalc

Thanks for the input.

I am going to install the demo version of Tedds and give it a try. I will post how it goes

Contact your local TEKLA dealer (TEKLA owns tedds). At the end of this month they are dropping their light version of TEDDS for the TEDDS for word. You might be able to get a really good deal (Like half price). But do it fast, like before May 29th I think.

RE: Tedds Vs. Enercalc

The Tedd's with word is far more versatile if you want to group multiple calc sheets or create your own sheets. You can use the word embed option to embed existing excel sheets as well. I suspect the reason they are dropping the light version is because 75% of their customers buy the version with word.
