1 Tedds Developer Training

Tedds includes applications that allow you to enhance your existing calculations into user friendly and intelligent
‘automated’ calculations. This is achieved by breaking down your designs into simpler components, creating a
flowchart to link these components in a logical way and then designing a user interface to prompt the user for the
required specific design case information.

The best way to become familiar with these applications is to run through the various Lessons in this document.
The steps shown in the lessons are the same as those used by the Tedds Development Team to create the Tedds
Engineering Library. We recommend that you familiarise yourself with some of the library calculations to see
examples of what can be achieved.

1.1 Quick Overview of the Development Process

The Developer Tools allow you to build on your existing Tedds for Word calculation writing skills to create more
professional calculations. A good understanding of how to write Tedds calculations is essential before you start
using the Developer tools.
First Steps:
1. Plan and specify the scope and requirements for your calculation. Planning the calculation before you
start developing is extremely important. Try to break down the overall design solution into smaller,
simpler components that are easier to design and implement. If you plan your solution well you will save
time throughout the development of your calculation.

Using Tedds for Word:

2. Write the calculation components that perform the required calculations that you specified in your design
plan, save these components as Calc Items to a Calculation Library.
Using the Tedds Calc Designer:
3. Create a Flowchart to link the Calc Items using the required logic to determine which components are
calculated.

Using the Tedds Interface Designer:

4. Create a User Interface to prompt the end user for the required calculation data.

3 Tedds Calc Designer - Overview

The Tedds Calc Designer is an application which is used to create Calc Modules that connect calculation
components and uses logical expressions to determine which components are calculated. It has a simple graphical
user interface which allows you to create ‘flowcharts’ for your calculation routines. The calculation components
must be written in Tedds for Word and saved in a Calc Library, as Calc Items, before using them with the Calc
Designer. If you are reading this chapter for the first time do not worry if you haven’t understood all the ideas and
technical terms covered so far. The lesson chapters that follow will guide you through all that you need to know
step by step.

3.1 How to Use the Tedds Calc Designer

An outline of the procedure that you will use in the Calc Designer is as follows:

 Place Calc Objects on the Flowchart Window

 Define the Properties of these Calc Objects

 Link the Calc Objects according to the logic of the calculation

 Build the completed Calc Module to a Calc Library.

3.4 Calc Objects

Calc Objects represent the various elements of the Calc Module and can be divided into five types:

3.4.1 Types of Calc Object

Terminators

The start and end(s) of the Flowchart or sub modules.

Defines the start of the Flowchart.

Start Module All Flowcharts begin with a Start Module Object.
Only one Start Module per Flowchart.

Specifies the end of the Flowchart.

End Module All Flowcharts finish with an End Module Object
and multiple End Module Objects are allowed.

Defines the start of a Sub Module.

Start Sub Module All Sub Modules begin with a Start Sub Module
Object.

Specifies the end of a Sub Module.

All Sub Modules must finish with an End Sub
End Sub Module
Module Object and only one End Sub Module
Objects is allowed per Sub Module.

Allows the Flowchart to be separated into more
manageable components.

3.4.2 Placing Calc Objects:

To place a Calc Object, click on the required Calc Object in the Calc Objects Window and then click on the
Flowchart window. To reposition any Calc Object click the Select button on the Diagram Toolbar and then click
and drag the Calc Object. Use Edit > Select All or click and drag the mouse to select multiple Calc Objects within a
rectangle, click on an empty space on the Flowchart window to clear the current selection.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

3.5 Specifying Calc Objects Properties:

Double-click on each Calc Object and enter the required properties. The properties can also be entered using the
Properties Window.

PROPERTY FUNCTION

Library file Identify library where item is located

Item name Exact name of item to be called

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Specifies whether the contents of the item should be

Output sent to the output (Append) or simply calculated and
discarded (Discard)

3.6 Placing "Evaluate Lib Item" Objects

There is an alternative way to place Evaluate Lib Item Calc Objects, which also defines the Object Properties in
the same operation. Launch the Library Access System using the icon on the Standard toolbar and check that you
have drag and drop enabled, via Tools > Options > General. Open the Set that contains the required Calc Item,
then simply drag and drop it onto the Flowchart window.

3.7 Linking Calc Objects:

Click on the Link command on the Diagram toolbar, click on the ‘node’ at the beginning of the Link and then the
‘node’ at the end of the link. To draw a Link with multiple nodes simply click on grid points between the start and
end nodes. To add a node press the Ctrl key and click on the Link, click and drag to move a node. To delete a
node, press the Ctrl key and click on the node to delete.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

3.8 Building the Calc Module

3.8.1 Properties

The Calc Module must be stored in a Calc Library as a Calc Item and it is the Calc Item that can be Executed from
the Library Access System to actually run and evaluate the full calculation. Select File > Properties and specify the
Library File and Item Name for saving the Calc Module. You can use the dialog buttons to select an existing Calc
Library or type the new details into the dialog.

3.8.2 Building

4 Tedds Interface Designer - Overview

The Tedds Interface Designer is used to create the user interface which is displayed when an AutoCalc is
calculated. The overall layout of each user interface can be ‘designed’ and the specific information – default
values, notes, associated sketches, etc - for each element of the user Interface can be defined. You may have
created the Calc Module using the Calc Designer before using the Interface Designer.

4.1 How to Use the Tedds Interface Designer

An outline of the procedure that you will use in the Interface Designer is as follows:
• Choose a page layout.
• Define information that will appear on each page
• Build the completed Interface to a Calc Library

4.3.2 Groups

Groups allow Controls to be ‘grouped’ together. This provides two main benefits 1) the Controls are displayed
together in a visible area in the interface, with a title and 2) logic as to whether the Controls are enabled or not
can be set at the Group level.

4.3.3 Pages

Pages represent actual pages of the interface. A Page can contain multiple Groups and controls. Logic can be used
to define whether a Page is enabled or not.

4.3.4 Page Groups

Page Groups are the highest level component that can be created in the Interface Designer. A Page Group may
contain one or more Pages and is used to set the layout and other properties of these Pages. For example, if an
interface should have a sketch on the first and second page, and none on the third and fourth, then two different
Page Groups would be used to set these different properties. Logic can be used to define whether a page group is
enabled. Notes and sketches items are also controlled at the Page Group level.

4.4 General

The following capabilities are available across the different types of components.
• Condition as to whether the component is included in the interface.
• Condition as to whether the component is enabled in the interface.
• Validation for the data entry with messages displayed if the validation is not met.
• For Pages and Controls only – Additional information to be displayed at the top of the interface.

7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 51 (130)

7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic

In this second lesson you will use the Calc Designer to create a Calc Module that uses logic to change the route
through a calculation and hence which Calc Items are calculated. For this example you will be able to choose
between a fully loaded or partially loaded beam.
Full UDL Beam Details + Loading Details + Full UDL Design Forces
OR
Partial UDL Beam Details + Loading Details + Partial UDL Design Forces

These Calc Items have already been written and saved in the Tedds Developer Calc Library.

 Allow about 20 minutes to complete this Lesson.

Below is a preview of the flowchart that you will create in this lesson.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

© Trimble Solutions Corporation | May 12, 2017 Professional Developer Tools
7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 52 (130)

7.1 Lesson 2 - Control Variables

In order to calculate the appropriate Calc Items the Calc Module needs to know which type of load is to be
applied to the beam and whether a sketch is required . To achieve this you will use a Variable "_UDLType" to
control whether the loading is full or partial and a Variable "_ShowSketch" to set whether or not to include a
sketch of the beam in the output.

Control’ Variables – It is a good idea to start all ‘control’ Variables

with an underscore '_' character, which denotes to Tedds that the
Variable is a hidden Variable and is not normally important to the end
user.

7.2 Set up the Calc Designer

Step 1. Open the Tedds Calc Designer, or select File > New if it is already open.
Step 2. Select File > Properties and use the dialog button to select the Tedds Developer. lbr for the Calc
Library and then enter Lesson 2 for the Calc Item.
Step 3. Save the Flowchart as Lesson 2.cdd, in <My Documents\Tedds\AutoCalcs\ Developer Training\>.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 53 (130)

7.3 Create the Flowchart

Step 4. Place a Start Module and a decision Expression Calc Object on the flowchart.

Step 5. Double-click on the Expression Calc Object and define the following Expression:
_UDLType == "Partial"

If the Variable _UDLType equals "Partial" your Flowchart will branch out to the right, if _UDLType does NOT equal
"Partial" (i. e. "Full") then the Flowchart will continue below.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

© Trimble Solutions Corporation | May 12, 2017 Professional Developer Tools
7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 54 (130)

Expressions – The Calc Designer and the Interface Designer use the
same rules for writing expressions as Tedds for Word so all the
techniques you have learnt to write calculations in Tedds for Word
can be reused.

Variable names are case sensitive and must match the names used
in the Interface Designer and/or the calculation components.
Mismatched Variable names are the most likely cause of errors in
both the Calc Designer and Interface Designer.

The double == is the standard ‘expression text’ equivalent of

equality, a single = is not sufficient when defining conditional (if)
expressions.

The quotes round the value are also important parts of the
expression as they are required when defining text Values.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

© Trimble Solutions Corporation | May 12, 2017 Professional Developer Tools
7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 55 (130)

Now, you will complete the design of the "Full UDL" calculation, the first step is to include the option to show the
sketch:

Step 6. Place another Decision Expression Calc Object directly below the existing Calc Objects, right-click
over it and select Properties. Define the following expression, remembering to use case sensitive
Variable names and double ==:
_ShowSketch == "yes"

If _ShowSketch equals "yes" your Flowchart will branch out to the right but if _ShowSketch does NOT equal "yes"
(i. e. "no") then the Flowchart will continue below.

7.3.1 Placing Calc Objects Directly From the LAS.

You will use an alternative method to place the three Evaluate Lib Item Calc Objects required for the Full Loading
calculation.

Step 7. Open the Library Access System using the icon on the Standard toolbar and check via Tools >
Options > General that you have drag and drop enabled.
Step 8. Open the Tedds Developer. las Set, select the "Full UDL Beam Details" Calc Item and drag and drop
it directly below the existing Calc Objects.

Step 9. Repeat this procedure for "Loading Details" and "Full UDL Design Forces".
Step 10. Place an End Module below the last Calc Object.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

© Trimble Solutions Corporation | May 12, 2017 Professional Developer Tools
7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 56 (130)

Step 11. Place another Evaluate Lib item Calc Object by dragging the "Full UDL Sketch" Calc Item from the
Tedds Developer Library and dropping alongside the _ShowSketch == "yes" Expression Calc Object.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

© Trimble Solutions Corporation | May 12, 2017 Professional Developer Tools
7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 57 (130)

Step 12. Draw Links to connect the Calc Objects as shown below:

Links - A Link must start and finish at a Calc Object – not simply at
another Link. To make your Flowcharts easier to follow you can draw
Links that overlap.

7.3.2 Copying and Editing Calc Objects

You now want to include the design elements of the "Partial UDL" calculation. You can either repeat these steps
and place a new set of Calc Objects to suit partial loading or alternatively you can copy and edit the existing Calc
Objects. As the two routes through the calculation are similar copying and editing is probably the quickest
solution.

Step 13. Click the Select command and then drag a window that encompasses all but the Start Module and
first Expression Calc Objects. You should find that all the other Calc Objects and the Links will now
be ‘selected’.
Step 14. Select Edit > Copy from the main menu, click into the space to the right of the selected Objects and
then select Edit > Paste. A duplicate set of Calc Objects should now exist and whilst they are all still
selected you can click & drag them into a more suitable position.
Step 15. Double-click or right click on each of the new Calc Objects to change them to:

First Calc Item Partial UDL Beam Details

7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 58 (130)

Second no change

Third Calc Item Partial UDL Design Forces

Fourth Calc Item Partial UDL Sketch

Step 16. Draw a Link from the first Expression Calc Object (_UDLType=="Partial") to the new
_ShowSketch=="yes" Expression.

You should now have a Flowchart similar to this:

7.4 Build the Calc Module

Step 17. Click the Build Module command to build the Calc Module and to save it to the Calc Library, using
the Calc Item name Lesson 2
Step 18. Save the completed Flowchart file as Lesson 2.cdd.

7.5 Test the Calc Module

To check your simple calculation:

Step 19. Create a new document in Tedds for Word.

Step 20. At the top of the new document you will set up the ‘control’ Variables for loading type and the
inclusion of a sketch. Type the following lines – remember Variables and text values are case
sensitive:
_ShowSketch ="yes"
_UDLType ="Partial"

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 60 (130)

Word Options– When you type variables names that start with an ‘_’
character you may find that the underscore characters suddenly
disappear and your text is formatted in italic. This is a feature of Word
that is not desirable when writing Tedds calculations, if you type an
underscore character then some text and then another underscore
character Word automatically formats the text you have typed in
italics.
We would recommend that you disable this Word feature. Select File
> Options > Proofing > AutoCorrect Options. Select the tab
AutoFormat. Make sure that the option *Bold* and _italic_ with real
formatting is not checked and confirm you settings by clicking OK.

Step 21. Insert a call to the Calc Module using a Tedds Calc Item Field in the same way as you did for Lesson
1 except this time select the Calc Item Lesson 2.
Step 22. Calculate the document and you should have the Partial loading calculation with a sketch.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

7 Lesson 2 - Creating the Calculation Logic 61 (130)

Step 23. Change the ‘control’ Variables to "Full" and "no" and re-calculate. You should now have the Full
loading calculation without a sketch.

7.6 What have you learnt?

In this lesson you have learnt how to:

• Define ‘control’ Variables
• Change the route of the calculation using Decision Expression Calc Objects
• Copy, paste and amend Calc Objects

7.7 What next?

In the next lesson you will create an Interface for this Calc Module that will prompt you for the analysis data as
well as allowing you to select the loading type and whether or not to include the sketch.

8 Lesson 3 - Creating the User Interface

In this lesson you will use the Interface Designer to create an Interface for the Calc Module that you created in
Lesson 2.

 Allow about 45 minutes to complete this lesson.

in the following lessons you will be using the various options and
properties available in the Interface Designer. In each subsequent
step we have only described the data that you need to change or
have not seen before. If a property is not described then it should
be left as the default value or blank.

8.1 Interface Designer Plan

You need to enter the following information in order to complete your simple beam analysis:
Analysis Options – the loading type and whether or not to include a sketch

Full UDL Loading – the beam span and full udls, or

Partial UDL Loading – the beam span, partial udl position and values
To achieve this you will design three interface pages, the selection made on the analysis options page will
determine which of the two loading pages will be displayed:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

8.1.1 Interface Designer Components

Here’s a reminder of the different components that make up an Interface:

 Page Groups – define the overall layout and properties of Pages

 Pages – define the actual pages of the interface

 Groups – group together related controls

 Controls – define an item in the interface which does one or more of accepting input from the user,
executing expressions or showing output to the user.

Variables - When referencing Variables in the Interface Designer

remember that both the Variable name and any text values are case
sensitive and must match the Variables used in the calculation and/or
Calc Designer. Mismatched Variable names are the most likely cause
of errors in both the Calc Designer and Interface Designer.

8.2 Set up the Interface Designer

Step 1. Launch the Tedds Interface Designer.

Step 2. Select File > Properties and specify the Calc Library and Calc Item name to be used when you build
your Interface and store it in the Calc Library:

Property Value Description

Interface Name Simple Beam Analysis text for the Interface title bar.

Library Tedds Developer. lbr select using the dialog button

Item Lesson 3 Interface name for the Calc Item

Step 3. Select File > Save and save the Interface Designer file as Lesson 3.tid, in <My
Documents\Tedds\AutoCalcs\Developer Training\>.

Comment Leave blank Design time notes for you the developer

Label Leave blank Design time label which overrides Name

Enable If – similar to Include If but if the expression is False (0) the

Group will be disabled rather than not appearing. Enable If can only
be used for Groups or Controls.
Hide if disabled – set to False (0) to hide a disabled Group or Control.
Similar to Include If except that the blank space for the control will
exist on the interface. Use in preference to Include If if you want to
keep the location of other Groups fixed.

Preview – You can preview the user interface at design time by

opening the Preview window which is available from the Window
menu. You can keep this window open as you are editing your user
interface to see the result of any changes. You can alos edit some of
the properties of the groups and controls in-place by clicking and
editing directly on the preview window.
Note: If you use Include If properties then a preview of the interface
cannot be shown.

8.6 Controls

Controls are the basic parts of an interface that allow the user to enter information. The first Control will decide
which type of loading is to be applied to your beam:

8.6.1 Drop List Control – Loading Type

Step 7. Double-click on , within Controls, and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name of the variable used to store the

Text in Drop Down Lists – By adding the choice as Full="Full" the drop
down list on the interface will show the text without quotes but
Tedds will store the value as a string.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

8.6.2 Checkbox Control – Include Sketch?

The second control will decide whether or not a sketch is included with the calculation:

Step 8. Double-click the to add another Control and specify:

Property Value Description

Name of the variable used to store the

Name _ShowSketch
selected value

Description Include Sketch Text to show at run time on the interface

Type Checkbox Use a check box

Checked value "yes" Value assigned when checked

Unchecked value "no" Value assigned when unchecked

Default Value "yes"

8.7 Build the Interface

Although the Interface is not yet complete you can make sure that everything that you have specified so far is
working correctly and you can do this without actually linking it to the Calc Designer or any calculations!

8.8 Test the Interface

Step 9. Create a new document in Tedds for Word.

Step 10. Click the Export command to send the Interface Designer information to the Tedds
document. You can view the information by clicking Show Field Codes
Step 11. Calculate the document and you should see the following interface:

Step 12. Click the Notes and Sketch commands in the interface toolbar to check that the correct notes and
sketches are displayed.
Step 13. Select a Load Type, select whether to include a Sketch and then click Next. The interface will close
but no calculations will be displayed as you have yet to add the Interface Calc Item to the Calc
Module.
Step 14. In Tedds for Word, click the Variables command to see if the ‘control’ Variables have been defined
correctly:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Although there are no further pages and the calculation has not run, your first Interface is working well. You will
now create the interface Pages for the two loading conditions
Step 15. Return to the Interface Designer.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

8.9 Page Group - Two

Now you will choose the page ‘style’ to suit both loading types:

Step 16. Click on the first page Group "Simple Beam 1" and then double-click the Page Group command to
add a second Page Group and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name Simple Beam 2 Text shown at design time in the tree

Item Name Simple Beam Sketches

Layout 26 Wide sketch window with 8 controls

8.10 Page - Two

Now you will define the details of the first Page within this Page Group and use the horizontal sketch window to
display a picture of the beam. The choice of Calc Item for the sketch is not fixed but depends upon the Variable
_UDLType so you will use an "expression" to select the correct sketch:

Step 17. Double-click the Page command to add a new Page and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Text shown at run time in the user interfaces title

The sketch shown will be based on an expression,

= if(_UDLType=="Full",
note the expression starts with an equals symbol
Library Item "Full UDL Sketch",
which automatically enables the 'Calculate as
"Partial UDL Sketch")
expression' sub property

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Property Value Description

Expression which can be used to control when the

Update If Leave blank

8.11 Groups

You will create different Groups for the full and partially loaded beam span details and then use the Include If
setting to control which Group (and associated Controls) is displayed. Note: the Controls required for the dead
and live loads are the same for both load types.

8.11.1 Fully Loaded Beam Span Details

Step 18. Double-click the Group command to add new Group and specify the following:

8.12.2 Edit Control - Beam Span

As the overall beam span Control will be the same regardless of whether the beam is fully or partially loaded you
can copy the previous Control into the Partially Loaded Span Group. Note: You can copy and paste Controls,
Groups, Pages and Page Groups.

Step 23. Right-click over the L_{s} Edit Control within the Fully Loaded Span Group and select Copy.
Step 24. Right-click on the Partially Loaded Span Group and select Paste.

Now you can add more Controls to the Partially Loaded Span Group that define the length and position of the
loading. You can either copy and amend the first Control or add new Controls.

8.12.3 Edit Control – Length to Load

Step 25. Click the Edit Control command to add a new Control and specify the following:

Property Value Description

8.13 Test the Interface

Make sure that everything that you have specified so far is working correctly before you actually link it to the Calc
Designer or any calculations:

Step 30. Export the Interface Designer information to a Tedds for Word document.
Step 31. Calculate the document and select a Load Type, select whether to include a sketch and then click
Next.
Step 32. Depending on your choices you should see an Interface similar to this:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 33. Enter some values and check all the routes through the calculation, view the Variables that are
defined in each case. Note when you choose a partially loaded beam the associated Controls do no
all fit on one interface so Tedds automatically displays an additional page.

8.14 Build the Interface

When you are happy that everything is working correctly:

Step 34. Click the Build Interface command to create the Interface and save it in the library.
Step 35. Save the Interface Designer file as Lesson 3.tid file.

8.15 What have you learnt?

In this lesson you have covered how to:

• specify the Calc Library and Calc Item name for an Interface
• add and define the properties of Page Groups, Pages, Group and Controls
• build an Interface, which stores it in a Calc Library
• save an Interface Designer file
• test an Interface
More specifically you have:
• specified the Notes and Sketches that will be accessed via the interface toolbar
• used an expression to display one of two sketches
• created Drop List, Checkbox, Edit and Label Controls
• used the Include If option to hide or display Controls
• used the Finish interface if option to change the final ‘Next’ button to ‘Finish’

8.16 What next?

In the next lesson you will combine the Interface and Calc Module from Lessons 2 and 3 to create an AutoCalc.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Lesson 4

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

9 Lesson 4 - Linking Interfaces & Calc Modules

You have now successfully created a Calc Module using the Calc Designer and a User Interface using the Interface
Designer. Both of these are stored as Calc Items in the Tedds Developer Calc Library and now you need to link
them together to create your AutoCalc.

 Allow about 10 minutes to complete this lesson.

Each of the lessons builds on the work carried out in the previous exercise. In order to allow you to go back over
previous lessons you will rename the Calc Designer and Interface Designer files rather than overwriting them. You
will also use different Calc Item names for the Calc Modules and Interfaces for the same reason. If you wish to use
our CDD and/or TID files instead of continuing with your own then you can select the appropriate file from <My
Documents\Tedds\AutoCalcs\Developer Training\Completed\".

9.1 Set up the Calc Designer

Step 1. Launch the Tedds Calc Designer and Open your Lesson 2.cdd file.
Step 2. Select File > Properties and change the Calc Item to Lesson 4
Step 3. Select File > Save As and save the file as Lesson 4.cdd.

9.2 Adding an Interface to a Calc Designer Flowchart

Step 4. Delete the Link between the Start Module and the first Expression Calc Object, and then move the
Start Module Object up or the rest of the Objects down so that there is room for another Calc
Object.

Interface Calc Items - Because user Interfaces are saved as Calc Items
you add them to a Flowchart in exactly the same way as you do for
any other Calc Item.

Step 5. Place an Evaluate Lib Item Calc Object in the gap and use the dialog buttons to set the Properties as

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Property Value

Calc Library Tedds Developer. lbr

Calc Item Lesson 3 Interface

Step 6. Draw the Links to link the new Evaluate Lib Item Calc Object to the Calc Designer Flowchart.

9.3 Build the Calc Module

Step 7. Click the Build Module command to build the Calc Module and to save it in the library.
Step 8. Save the completed Flowchart file, Lesson 4.cdd.

9.4 Test the Calc Module

You now have a Calc Item called Lesson 4, that will run the Logic Example Interface, calculate the appropriate
components as laid in the Flowchart and then display the completed calculation. To check your combined
calculation:

Step 9. In Tedds for Word, add a call to the Calc Item Lesson 4 using a Tedds Calc Item Field in the same
way as you did for Lesson 1.
Step 10. Check all the various routes through the beam analysis.

9.5 Create the AutoCalc

The final step is to save the Call Item Field in the Calc Library as an AutoCalc.
Step 11. Close any open Tedds for Word documents.
Step 12. Insert a call to the Calc Item Lesson 4 using a Tedds Calc Item Field, but do not calculate it.
Step 13. Highlight the Calc Item Field that you have just inserted into the document

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 14. Open the Library Access System.

Step 15. Open the Tedds Developer Set and select the "Beam Analysis" Group.
Step 16. Select the New Item command and fill out the New Item Properties to suit the AutoCalc:

Step 17. Save the modified Set.

Step 18. Create a new document in Tedds for Word.
Step 19. Select the new AutoCalc Item in the Library Access System and use the Execute command to return
the item to the document. Calculate the document to make sure you have saved the calculation
correctly.

9.6 What have you learnt?

In this lesson you have covered how to:

• Add an Interface Calc Item to a Calc Designer Flowchart
• Save an AutoCalc Calc Item

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

9.7 What next?

In the next lesson you will learn more Calc Designer features such as Sub Modules and more Interface Designer
features such as SetVar and Button Controls. You will use these to add a deflection check to your beam analysis.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Lesson 5

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

10 Lesson 5 - Advanced Example

In this lesson you will use both the Calc Designer and Interface Designer to specify the steel design code, select a
steel section and then calculate the deflection.

 Allow about 45 minutes to complete this lesson.

In the second part of this lesson you will add the deflection check Controls to an Interface called Lesson 5
Interface, but first you will set up the Calc Designer Flowchart to run this new interface.

10.1 Set up the Calc Designer

Step 1. Launch the Tedds Calc Designer and open your Lesson 4.cdd file
Step 2. Select File > Properties and change the Calc Item to Lesson 5.
Step 3. Select File > Save As and save the file as Lesson 5.cdd.

10.2 Changing an Interface in a Calc Designer Flowchart

Step 4. Double click on the "Lesson 3 Interface" Evaluate Lib Item Calc Object and change the Item Name to
"Lesson 5 Interface"
You will now add the deflection checks to new pages in the Flowchart and use a new control Variable
"_CalcDeflection" to determine whether or not a deflection calculation is required. To keep the Flowchart
connected but also use the new pages you will use Sub Module, Start Sub Module and End Sub Module Objects.

10.3 Calc Designer Pages

Although there is still plenty of space on the current Flowchart managing complex calculations is much easier if
you keep the separate parts of the calculation on distinct pages. At the bottom of the Calc Designer are scroll bar
commands that allow you to add, delete and move between pages:

10.3.1 Adding Pages

Step 5. Right click over the text for Page 1, select Rename and call the page Main.
Step 6. Click the + symbol to the right of the scroll bar to add a new page.
Step 7. Rename this page to Deflection Full UDL.
Step 8. Repeat these steps to create a page called Deflection Partial UDL.

10.4 Sub Modules

Sub Modules allow you to divide flowcharts in to smaller more manageable parts. You add a Sub Module Process
Calc Object to the main Flowchart to specify the name of the Sub Module that is to be used and begin the Sub
Module Flowchart with a Start Sub Module Terminator Calc Object with the same name. All branches of a Sub
Module Flowchart must finish at the same End Sub Module Calc Object.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Start & End Sub Module Calc Objects – All Sub Modules must begin
with a Start Sub Module and all branches of a Sub Module must finish
at the same End Sub Module.

The Sub Module Name is case sensitive and cannot include spaces.
It is good practice to create a new page for each Sub Module and to
give the page and Sub Module the same name.

10.4.1 Adding Sub Modules

Step 9. Use the page navigate buttons to return to the Main page
Step 10. Delete the Link between the "Full UDL Design Forces" and the End Module Calc Objects, and then
move the End Module Calc Object down so that there is room for another Calc Object.
Step 11. Place a Decision Expression Calc Object in the gap and set the Expression property to:
_CalcDeflection == "yes"

Step 12. Place a Sub Module Calc Object alongside this Expression and set the Sub Module Name property
to:
DeflectionFullUDL

Step 13. Draw Links to connect the new Expression and End Module Calc Object to the rest of the Flowchart:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 14. Change to the Deflection Full UDL page and place a Start Sub Module Calc Object at the top of the
Flowchart.
Step 15. Set the Start Sub Module Calc Object Name to:
DeflectionFullUDL

Step 16. Below this Start Sub Module Calc Object, place an Evaluate Lib Item Calc Object for Full UDL
Deflection by either dragging and dropping from the Tedds Developer Set or by browsing to the
correct Calc Library and Calc Item.

Step 17. Below this, place an End Sub Module Calc Object and draw Links to connect all three Objects.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 18. Repeat the above steps for the Partial UDL Loading part of the Flowchart. Set the Sub Module and
Start Sub Module Properties to something suitable, e. g. DeflectionPartialUDL.
Step 19. Check the new Calc Objects and make sure that you have been consistent with the Expressions and
Properties.

You should now have Flowchart pages similar to the following:

10.4.2 Main page:

10.4.3 Deflection pages:

10.5 Build the Calc Module

Step 20. Click the Build Module command to build the Calc Module and to save it in the library.
Step 21. Save the completed Flowchart file, Lesson 5.cdd.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

10.6 Test the Calc Module

You cannot test this Calc Module until you have completed the Lesson 5 Interface. So now you will open the
Interface Designer and do just that.

10.7 What have you learnt?

So far in this lesson you have covered how to:

• Add new pages
• Make reviewing the Flowchart easier by using Sub Modules

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

10.8 Interface Designer Plan

To include the deflection calculation you will amend the Interface created in Lesson 3 to:

Allow the engineer to include a deflection calculation – Checkbox Control

Give them a choice of steel design codes – Drop List Control

Let them select an appropriate steel section size – Button Control

Display the currently selected section – Label Control

You will add new control Variables (_DesignCode and _SteelDataList) so that once the design code has been
chosen the interface can set the appropriate Data List and value of Young’s Modulus (E), using SetVar Controls.
Here’s what your ‘advanced’ interface will look like when you're finished:

10.9 Set up the Interface Designer

Step 22. Launch the Interface Designer and open your existing Lesson 3.tid file.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 23. Select the Properties command and change the Calc Item to Lesson 5 Interface.
Step 24. Save the file as Lesson 5.tid.

10.10 Controls

You will add a Checkbox Control so that the engineer can specify whether or not a deflection calculation is
required.

10.10.1 Checkbox Control - Calculate Deflection?

Step 25. Expand the Wizard to show the contents of the Analysis Options\Options Group.
Step 26. Copy and Paste the _ShowSketch Control to create a duplicate within the Options Group.
Step 27. Amend the copy to the following:

Property Value Description

Name of the variable used to store the

Name _CalcDeflection
selected value

Description Calculate Deflection Text to show at run time on the interface

Type Checkbox Use a check box:

Checked value "yes" Value assigned when checked

Unchecked value "no" Value assigned when unchecked

Default Value "no"

For partially loaded beams

deflection is calculated
Information assuming that the loaded
length is central on the
beam.

10.11 Groups

You will now create a new Group that will contain all the Controls related to the deflection calculation. You will
use the Enable If property to make this Group, and all its Controls, either ‘enabled’ or to leave them visible but
‘disabled’ depending upon whether the deflection calculation is required or not.
Step 28. Return to the Analysis Options Page, add another Group and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name Deflection Text shown at design time in the tree

Description Section Properties Text shown at run time on the interface

Group will be disabled unless this

Enable If _CalcDeflection=="yes"
condition is True

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

10.12 Controls

You will add a Drop List Control to choose a steel design code from: British BS5950, Canadian S16. 1 or American
LRFD.

10.12.1 Drop List Control - Design Code

Step 29. Select the Deflection Group, add a new Control and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name of the variable used to store the

Name _DesignCode
selected value

Description Select steel design code Text shown at run time on the interface

Type Drop List Use a drop down list

British (BS5950)="BS5950"
Canada (S16. 1)="S161" Values for the drop list, click on the dialog
Choices
USA (LRFD)="LRFD" button to access the Choices Editor
Australia (AS400)="AS4100"

Default Value "BS5950" default Variable value

Value type String Optimizes control based on values type

10.12.2 SetVar Control – Young’s Modulus

Each of these design codes uses a slightly different value of Young’s Modulus and these values all exist as the
following Tedds System Variables: BS5950 = ES5950, S16. 1 = ES161, and LRFD = ESLRFD. You can use the Variable
_DesignCode in an expression to select the appropriate value of Young’s Modulus.

Step 30. Add a new Set Variable Control and specify the following:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Property Value Description

Name of the variable used to store the

Name E
selected value

Type Set Variable Set a Variable value

Select(_DesignCode,
"BS5950", E_{S5950},
Value "S161", E_{S161}, "LRFD",
E_{SLRFD}, "AS4100",
E_{S4100}, "Not Specified")

Value - Make sure that you include all the commas and quotes and
that you type the case sensitive Variable names correctly e. g.
E_{S5950} not e_{5950}. If you are not familiar with the select
function see the notes below.

Select Function - The select function matches a value to a pre-defined

value and returns an associated result. The structure of the function is
as follows:
select(value, possible value 1, result 1, possible
value 2, result 2,. . ,possible value i, result i, no
match result ) = ?

Example
Colour= "blue"
select(Colour,"red",0,"blue",1,"black",2,3) = 1

The number '3' at the end is a fall through result and is returned if no
match is made. Use this function only if values will match exactly, for
numeric comparisons, where the values will not always be exactly
equal, use nested 'if' statements or the ‘ifelseif’ function.

10.12.3 SetVar Control – Steel Section Data List

You can use _DesignCode in another expression to select the correct Data List. For each design code there is a
different Tedds Data List for the standard steel sections. In these lessons you are using metric (SI) units so the
Data Lists required are: BS5950 = euro. dls, S16. 1 = caciscsi. dls and LRFD = aiscsi. dls.

Step 31. Copy and Paste the E Set Variable Control and amend the copy to the following:

Property Value Description

Name of the variable used to store the

Name _SteelDataList
selected value

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Property Value Description

Type Set Variable Set a Variable value

Select(_DesignCode,
"BS5950", "euro. dls",
"S161", "caciscsi. dls",
Value
"LRFD", " aiscusus. dls",
"AS4100", "auall. dls", "Not
selected")

10.12.4 Button Control – Select Section from Data List

A Button Control can be used for a variety of ‘commands’ such as displaying a Data List or Data Table. For this
interface you want to be able to click the button to display the Data List that matches the Variable _SteelDataList,
set by the SetVar Control above.

Step 32. Add a new Button Control and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name Select Section… Button text

Description Select a steel section Text shown at run time on the interface

Type Button Use a button

DListSelectUI( The command which is executed when

Command
_SteelDataList) the button is clicked

Select an I or H shaped
Information
section.

Step 33. For the Command property click the dialog button and select the Data List tab in the Command
Builder
Step 34. Choose the euro. dls Data List. The other options on this dialog can be used to specify which section
is initially selected and other properties of the Data List and returned Variables. You will not be
using these options for these lessons so just click OK.
This would be sufficient if only one Data List was required but you need a different Data List for each design code.
Step 35. Click the dialog button and select the Expression page.
Step 36. Replace "EURO. dls" with _SteelDataList. _SteelDataList is case sensitive and no quotes required.

Now, when the Select Section button on the interface is clicked, the Data List displayed will suit the current
design code. For example, if _DesignCode = "LRFD" then _SteelDataList = "aiscsusus. dls" and the button will run
DListSelectUI( "aiscusus. dls" ) and therefore display the standard US steel sections.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

10.12.5 Label Control – Current Section

It would be very helpful if the name of the current section were displayed on the interface. This can be achieved
by using a Label Control that includes a string to report the section size. You can use the Enable If and Hide if
disabled features so that the section size is only displayed if the engineer chooses to run a deflection calculation.

Step 37. Select the Deflection Group, add Label Control and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name CurrentSection Text shown at design time in the tree

= StrFormat("Current
section: [1]",
Description Text shown at run time on the interface
GetVar("Name", "Not yet
selected"))

Only enable if deflection option is

Enable If _CalcDeflection=="yes"
checked

Hide if disabled True Hide control if disabled

Type Label Use a text label

StrFormat - The StrFormat function allows you to create a text string

which includes the value of a variable or the result of an expression.
Placeholders denoted by square brackets [] determine which
arguments will be inserted at that location in the string.

GetVar - is a function that returns the value of the named variable or

if that variables does not exist returns the specified default value. It is
useful when you know that in some circumstances the variable may
not yet exist.

10.13 Build the Interface

Step 38. Click the Build command to create the Lesson 5 Interface Calc Item
Step 39. Save Lesson 5.tid.

10.14 Checking the Autocalc

Because you have already built the Calc Module that includes the Lesson 5 Interface all you need to do now is test
this Calc Module and save the AutoCalc Calc Item. You might prefer to test the Lesson 5 Interface separately
before checking it in combination with the calculations or you might be confident enough to save the AutoCalc
and test everything in one go.

10.15 Test the Calc Module

Step 40. Create a new document in Tedds for Word.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 41. Insert a call to the Calc Module using a Tedds Calc Item Field in the same way as you did for the
previous lessons except this time select the Calc Item Lesson 5.
Step 42. Check all the different routes through the calculations.

10.16 Create the AutoCalc

Step 43. Follow the same step as you did at the end of Lesson 4, to save the AutoCalc as a Calc Item.

10.17 What have you learnt?

In the Interface Designer part of this lesson you have learnt how to:

• Use the Enable If option to disable a Group and its Controls

• Assign Variable values using the SetVar Control
• Add a button to the dialog using the Button Control
• Use the Disabled interface if option to hide Control that are not enabled
• Add an ‘intelligent’ Label to the interface that will report a current Variable value

10.18 What Next?

In the next lesson you will create an option to choose either summary or full results.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Lesson 6

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

11 Lesson 6 - Controlling Output

Your AutoCalc is working well but you may decide that you just want a summary of the results rather than having
the full calculation printed out each time. In the Interface Designer you will define a Variable named _Results that
will allow you to choose between "Full" and "Summary" output. In the Calc Designer you will add the Summary
output Calc Object and use this Variable to control which components are included in the final output document.

 Allow about 30 minutes to complete this lesson.

11.1 Set up the Calc Designer

Step 1. Launch the Tedds Calc Designer and open Lesson 5.cdd.
Step 2. Save the file as Lesson 6.cdd.
Step 3. Change the Flowchart Properties Item Name to Lesson 6.
Step 4. Change the interface Evaluate Lib Item Item Name to Lesson 6 Interface.

11.1.1 Append and Discard

Step 5. In the same Edit Properties dialog, change the Output property to Discard.

Append and Discard – The Properties of each Evaluate Lib Item Calc
Object can be set so that the associated calc component is either
calculated and included in the final output document (Append) or
simply calculated and not included (Discard). The choice between
Append and Discard can also be controlled using an expression.

Step 6. Double click on the "Full UDL Beam Details" Evaluate Lib Item Calc Item, which currently has the
default Output Property of Append. Change this property to:
if(_Results=="Full", Append, Discard)

If the Variable _Results does equal "Full" then the component will be evaluated and included in the output
(Append). If _Results does NOT equal "Full" (i. e. "Summary") then the component will simply be evaluated and
NOT included (Discard).

11.2 ‘Replacing’ Properties

You need to make the same change to the Output property of the other Calc Objects. You could either edit each
one separately or use the Replace feature:

Step 7. Select Edit > Replace and specify the following, then click the Replace button:

Find what: Append

Replace with: if(_Results=="Full", Append, Discard)

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Replace – Will search all the properties of all the Calc Objects and
replace any occurrence of the ‘Find what:’ entry with the text in
‘Replace with:’. You can use Replace on all the Calc Objects in one go
by clicking Replace All, however unless you are sure that this is
appropriate we recommend that you make the changes individually
by using the Find Next and Replace buttons.

Step 8. Use a combination of the Find Next and Replace buttons to change the Output property of all the
Evaluate Lib Item Calc Objects except for Lesson 6 Interface and the two Sketches. Don’t forget the
Deflection pages.
Step 9. Check that the Output property has been changed for all eight Calc Objects using the Properties
Window.

Properties Window – The properties of the currently selected Calc

Object can be viewed and edited in the Properties Window. If the
Properties Window is not visible you can select it from the View
menu.

11.3 Pages and Sub Module

You now need to add the component for the Summary output to the Flowchart and set its’ Output property to be
Append only if _Results does NOT equal "Full". You will use the techniques that you learnt in lesson 5 to add a
new page for the output and to link this page to the rest of the Flowchart as a Sub Module. The same Sub Module
can be used for both the Full UDL and Partial UDL routes through the design.

Step 10. Delete both the End Module Calc Objects on the Main page.
Step 11. Add a Sub Module and an End Module at the bottom-middle of the Flowchart.
Step 12. Set the Sub Module name Results.
Step 13. Draw the Links to connect the Sub Module and End Module Calc Objects to the Flowchart.
Step 14. Add a new page using the scroll bar and rename it Results.
Step 15. On the Results page place a Start Sub Module, an Evaluate Lib Item and an End Sub Module Calc
Object and connect them together.
Step 16. Set the Property of the Start Sub Module as Results.
Step 17. Set the Evaluate Lib Item Properties as

Property Value

Library file Tedds Developer.lbr

Item Name Summary Results

Output if(_Results=="Summary", Append, Discard)

You should now have Flowcharts similar to thefollowing:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

11.3.1 Build the Calc Module

Step 18. Click the Build Module command to build the Calc Module and to save it in the library.
Step 19. Save the completed Flowchart file, Lesson 6.cdd.

11.4 Test the Calc Module

You cannot test this Calc Module until you have completed the Lesson 6 Interface. So now you will open the
Interface Designer and do just that.

11.5 Interface Designer

The Calc Module is now complete but you need to use the Interface Designer to define the Variable _Results and
build the Lesson 6 Interface.

11.6 Set up the Interface Designer

Step 20. Launch the Interface Designer and open Lesson 5.tid.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 21. Save the file as Lesson 6 Interface.tid.

Step 22. Select the Properties command and change the Calc Item to Lesson 6 Interface.

11.7 Group

There is plenty of room on the initial Analysis Options Page to add another Group for selecting the output detail
required so:

Step 23. Expand the Wizard to show the Analysis Options Page.
Step 24. Add a new Group and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Title Results Text shown at run time on the interface

11.8 Control

11.8.1 Drop List Control – Output Level

Step 25. Add a new Drop List Control and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name of the variable used to store the

Name _Results
selected value

Summary="Summary",Full=
Choices
"Full"

Default Value "Summary"

11.9 Build the Interface

Step 26. Click the Build Interface command to create the Interface Calc Item.
Step 27. Save Lesson 6 Interface.tid.

11.10 Test the Calc Module

Step 28. Create a new document in Tedds for Word.

Step 29. Insert a call to the Calc Module using a Tedds Calc Item Field for the Calc Item Lesson 6.
Step 30. Select Summary results and you should get results similar to these:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 31. Check all the different routes through the calculations.

11.11 Create the AutoCalc

Step 32. Follow the same step as you did at the end of Lesson 4, to save the AutoCalc as a Calc Item.

11.12 What have you learnt?

In this lesson you have learnt how to:

• Control which components are pasted to the Tedds document using Append and Discard
• Quickly replace the properties of Calc Objects

11.13 What next?

In the next lesson you will refine your AutoCalc even further by adding input ‘validation’ to the user Interface to
prevent invalid values being accidentally entered, for example the beam span in metres when the AutoCalc is
expecting it in millimetres.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Lesson 7

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

12 Lesson 7 - Adding User Input Validation

Most numerical data will have some sort of limits on the values which can be eneterd, for example the maximum
and minimum permitted values, input validation enforces these rules. If the value entered is invalid you show a
message describing the rule which has been broken.

 Allow about 15 minutes to complete this lesson.

12.1 Set up the Interface Designer

Step 1. Launch the Interface Designer and open Lesson 6.tid.

Step 2. Save the file as Lesson 7.tid.
Step 3. Select Properties and change the Calc Item to Lesson 7 Interface.

12.2 Validation

12.2.1 Minimum Value

You will enter a validation check so that a message is displayed if the engineer enters a beam span dimension that
is less than 100 mm.
Step 4. Expand the Wizard and in the Fully Loaded Span Group highlight the L_{s} Control.
Step 5. In the Expression field, within the Validation area, specify a minimum value that must be entered to
avoid the validation message being displayed. Make sure you include units:
Min value 100 mm

Step 6. In the Message field type the message that you wish to be displayed if this condition is NOT met:
Beam span, Ls, must be at least 100 mm.

Step 7. Add similar validation for the L_{s} Control, in the Partially Loaded Span Group.

Validation Expressions – The validation condition must be met to

avoid the validation message being displayed. The Expression should
be a full formula but is it often easier to specify a maximum and/or
minimum value. It is essential that you include appropriate units in
the expression.

Validation Messages – The message will also appear if the cursor is

over an Edit box so it needs to be phrased accordingly. For example
"Incorrect length" would not make sense as a tool tip but "Beam
span, Ls, must be at least 100 mm. " would.
If you leave the message field empty Tedds will create a default
message:

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

12.2.2 Validation Properties

12.2.3 Validation Message (and tool tip)

If you leave the message field empty Tedds will create a default message

12.2.4 Positive Value

The values for w_{D} and w_{L} should all be positive i. e. minimum value of 0 kN/m.
Step 8. Enter appropriate conditions in the Min value Expression field and add messages to inform the
engineer to only use positive values. Don’t forget to specify units in the expressions.
Min value: 0 kN/m

Step 9. The Variable L_{a} should be positive and less than L_{s}, enter the following Validation Expression
and add an appropriate Validation Message.
Min value: 0 mm
Max value: L_{s}

12.2.5 Calculated Value

The Variable L_{b} should be greater than 0 mm but also no greater than L_{s} – L_{a}, or the load will be located
off the end of the beam.
Step 10. Enter the following Validation Expression and add an appropriate Validation Message.
Min value: 0 mm
Max value: L_{s} – L_{a}

12.2.6 Data List Selection

If the engineer chooses to perform a deflection calculation they must select a steel section from a Data List. In the
current calculation it is possible to proceed through the interfaces without choosing a section size but an error
will occur during the calculations, to prevent this:

Step 11. Highlight the Select Section Control, in the Deflection Group.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Step 12. Enter the following Validation Expression. A Variable called Name will only exist if a section has
been selected:
VarExists("Name")

Step 13. Add an appropriate Validation Message; such as "Select a steel section".

12.3 Build the Interface

Step 14. Click the Build Interface command to create the Interface
Step 15. Save Lesson 7.tid.

12.4 Set up the Calc Designer

Step 16. Launch the Tedds Calc Designer and open the Lesson 6.cdd.
Step 17. Select File > Save As and save the file as Lesson 7.cdd.
Step 18. Change the Flowchart Properties Item Name to Lesson 7
Step 19. Double click over the Output Example Interface Evaluate Lib Item Calc Object and change the Item
Name to Lesson 7 Interface.

12.5 Build the Calc Module

Step 20. Click the Build Module command to build the Calc Module and to save it in the library.
Step 21. Save the completed Flowchart file, Lesson 7.cdd.

12.6 Test the Calc Module

Step 22. Create a new document in Tedds for Word.

Step 23. Insert a call to the Calc Module using the Tedds Calc Item Field for the Calc Item Lesson 7.
Step 24. Enter values that don’t meet the Validation Expressions and check that the associated Validation
Messages are displayed.

12.7 Create the AutoCalc

Step 25. Follow the same step as you did at the end of Lesson 4, to save the AutoCalc as a Calc Item.

12.8 What have you learnt?

In this lesson you have learnt how to:

• Add validation messages to user interfaces

12.9 What next?

In the next lesson you will add a Preview to the interfaces that will allow you to see key results before accepting
the data and returning the calculation output to the document.

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

Lesson 8

Training Manual Tekla Tedds

© Trimble Solutions Corporation | May 12, 2017 Professional Developer Tools
13 Lesson 8 - Including a Preview
Once all the Variable values have been specified it would be useful to see the key results whilst the interface is
still open. If necessary, you would then be able to go back and change some of the values before returning the
calculations to the document. To achieve this you will modify your AutoCalc so that:

1. The full design is run with the interfaces displayed but without generating any output

2. A preview of the results will be displayed in the user interface

3. When the Finish button is clicked, the full design will be repeated without the user interface and the
output will be created.

 Allow about 45 minutes to complete this lesson.

13.1 Calc Designer

You will create a separate Calc Module that displays the interface, runs your existing Calc Module (whilst the
interface is still open allowing you to see the Preview) and then re-runs the calculation and returns the output to
the document. To begin with you need to amend the existing Calc Module.

13.2 Set up the Calc Designer

Step 1. Launch the Tedds Calc Designer and open Lesson 7.cdd.
Step 2. Change the Flowchart Properties Item Name to Lesson 8 Calc Module.
Step 3. Save the file as Lesson 8 Calc Module.cdd.

13.3 Modify the Flowchart

Step 4. Select the Main page

Step 5. Delete the Lesson 7 Interface Evaluate Lib Item.
Step 6. Link the Start Module directly to the _UDLType=="Partial" Expression.

Step 7. Place and Link an Expression Calc Object before the Results Sub Module.
Step 8. In this calculation, a ‘control’ Variable named _Output will be used to specify when items are
appended to the document. Double-click on the Expression Calc Object and define the following
Expression:
_Output == 0

Step 9. Place a new Sub Module alongside the Results Sub Module.
Step 10. Double-click on the new Sub Module and define the following name:
Preview_Results

13.4 Preview_Results

Add new Links to connect the Preview_Results Sub Module to the right of the _Output==0 Expression.

You can check that your Links are correct by temporarily moving the
Calc Objects. You can use Undo to restore objects to their original
location.

Step 11. Change to the Results page

Step 12. View the Properties of the Summary Results Calc Object
Step 13. Change the Output properties to:
and(_Results == "Summary", _Output)

Step 14. Add Calc Objects for a Start Sub Module, two Evaluate Lib items, an Expression and an End Sub
Module and link them together as shown below:

Step 15. Change the name of the Start Sub Module to Preview_Results
Step 16. Double click on the first Evaluate Lib item Calc Object and amend its Properties to:

Property Value

Library file "$(UserLbrDir)Tedds Developer.lbr"

Item name "Preview Forces"

Output _Output == 0

Step 17. Double click on the second Evaluate Lib Item Calc Object and amend its Properties to:

Property Value

Library file "$(UserLbrDir)Tedds Developer. lbr"

Item name "Preview Deflection"

Output _Output==0

Step 18. Double click on the Expression Calc Object and specify the following expression:

_CalcDeflection=="yes"

13.5 Output Properties

Step 19. Select Edit > Replace and specify the following:
Find what: if(_Results=="Full", Append, Discard)
Replace with: and(_Results=="Full", _Output)

Step 20. Click the Replace All button to change the Output properties of all the Evaluate Lib Item Calc
Objects.

13.6 Build the Calc Module

Step 21. Click the Build Module command to build the Calc Module and to save it in the library.
Step 22. Save the completed Flowchart file, Lesson 8 Calc Module.cdd.

Append = 1, Discard = 0 – When using If statements to control your

output it is not necessary to include the "if(" or the "Append,Discard)"
parts of the expression. For example:
_Results == "Full"

is equvalent to
if(_Results == "Full", Append, Discard)

If _Results does = "Full" the Output will have a value of 1 and hence
Append.
If _Results does not = "Full" the Output will have a value of 0 and
hence Discard.

13.7 Set up the Interface Designer

Step 23. Launch the Interface Designer and open Lesson 7.tid.
Step 24. Save the file as Lesson 8.tid.
Step 25. Select Properties and change the Calc Item to Lesson 8 Interface.

13.8 Existing Page Group

Currently the button on the bottom of the Analysis Options page of the interface is set to be displayed as Finish
but you are going to add another page so will change this back to the default of Back Next Cancel.

Step 26. Select the Analysis Data Page within the Simple Beam 2 Page Group
Step 27. Change the Buttons property from Back Finich Cancel to Back Next Nancel.

13.9 New Page Group

Step 28. Add a new Page Group and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Name Simple Beam 3 Text shown at design time in the tree

Template ID 70 A single sketch which fills the page

13.10 New Page

The Calc Item for the key results can now be run from the interface.
Step 29. Add a new Page and specify the following:

Property Value Description

Text shown at run time in the user

Title Analysis Preview
interfaces title bar

Buttons Back Finish Cancel Changes the Next button to Finish

Hide the default 'Please wait' message

Calculating message =" " which isn't necessary for such a quick
calculation.
