Can I migrate my Tedds calc library to Calcs.com?

Tedds templates use a proprietary format that cannot be imported directly. Most firms rebuild their standard templates in Calcs.com over the first few weeks. Because Calcs.com connects calculations through live load paths, the rebuilt versions tend to be more useful than the originals.

Does Calcs.com cover the same codes as Tedds?

Calcs.com covers major Australian, New Zealand, US, and Eurocode standards. Tedds has a broader legacy library for UK and European codes in particular. If your practice relies on specific niche codes, contact us before switching.

How does pricing compare to Tekla Tedds?

Tekla Tedds is estimated at USD 1,500-2,000 per user per year as a per-seat license. Trimble is also moving Tedds to per-user subscription licensing by 2027, so firms on perpetual licenses face a forced transition. Calcs.com Pro is $1,190/year for the team on a concurrent-access model - multiple engineers work simultaneously under one subscription. For a firm of three or more active engineers, Calcs.com typically costs less per engineer than Tedds on a per-seat basis, with no forced upgrade cycle.

Can Calcs.com export Word documents like Tedds?

Calcs.com exports calculation reports as PDFs. The reports are structured and formatted for submittal, so most engineers find they no longer need the Word editing step that Tedds output typically requires.

Is Calcs.com the same as ClearCalcs?

Yes. We rebranded to Calcs.com in 2025. Same product, same team, new name.

Tedds produces calc sheets. Calcs.com manages the whole design

When a load changes, Calcs.com propagates reactions through the full load path automatically. Tedds requires you to open each sheet and update it manually. See the full comparison.

Why engineers switch from Tekla Tedds

Engineering teams do not lose time because calculations are slow. They lose time because decisions cannot be checked quickly.

Load path updates automatically

From roof to foundation - when an input changes, every connected calc updates. No manual re-entry.

Cloud-based, any device

Your whole team accesses the same live project from any browser. No sync needed.

Reviewer-ready reports

Calculation reports are polished and formatted for sign-off without extra work.

No install, no conflicts

No desktop install, no license file, no version conflicts across the team.

Tedds produces calc sheets. Calcs.com manages the whole design.

In Tedds, each calculation is its own document. When a load changes, you open every affected sheet and update it manually. Calcs.com connects members through a live load path - change a roof load and every linked beam, column, and footing recalculates. Engineers who move from Tedds typically run the same project in half the time once they stop managing individual files.

“The software has made us a minimum of 30% more productive. It's eliminated at least 30% of the workload.”

Donovan RaeSenior Project Manager, Lumos & Associates

Calculation reports reviewers actually want to read

Tedds outputs Word documents that need formatting before they go to a client or AHJ. Calcs.com exports clean, structured PDF calc packs that include project metadata, code references, and member summaries. Reviewers can follow the logic from first principles without a formatting pass from the engineer who ran the calc.

“Doing the design in Calcs.com and being able to export the printout means our calculations are legible and easy to follow for reviewers.”

One workspace for the whole team, on any device

Tedds is a Windows desktop tool. Calcs.com runs in a browser on any machine - no IT ticket, no install, no license provisioning. An engineer can start a trial on their own and run a real project before raising it with their principal or IT team. Once the firm adopts it, project defaults are set once and shared across the team, so junior engineers work from the same code editions and load assumptions as principals, with no stale template files circulating by email.

“Yes, it costs money, but you spend money to make money, and the money you make is based on the time you save.”

“I like that Calcs.com shows the code reference section for each calculation and function. That means every time I use it, there's a potential for me to learn something.”
