Masonry wall panel design (EN1996): Moment coefficient for wall supported left, right & bottom
Not version-specific

Tekla Tedds for Word
If the ratio of ‘height to length’ falls within the upper and lower limit the Tedds calculation will use the yield line method to determine the bending moment coefficient. If your height to length ratio is outside of the specified limits Tedds will use simple elastic analysis (one way spanning) to determine the coefficient.
This works correctly for a wall supported on all 4 edges. However, if a panel is supported left, right and bottom and h/L <0.3. The panel can't span top to bottom because there is no support at the top and so a yield line analysis is carried out.
