Example: Add a custom connection to a model

In this example, you will add a previously created custom end plate connection to a model. Because you have not modified the custom component to adapt to different situations in the model, you need to add it to a similar location where it was created. Otherwise the custom component may not work as required.

1. Click the Applications & components button in the side pane to open the Applications & components catalog.

2. In the catalog, select the custom end plate connection you want to add.

   Tekla Structures displays instructions on the status bar.

3. Select the column as the main part.

4. Select the beam as the secondary part.

   Tekla Structures adds the end plate connection to the model.
