System Components for Steel
3 Creating System
Components for Steel
This lesson introduces the basics of creating system connections in Tekla Structures.
You will learn how to:
• Create connections
• Work with connection properties
• Save the properties for later use
• Work with Auto Defaults, i.e. create rules to apply pre-defined connection properties
automatically
3.1 About System Components
You can model connections quickly with the Tekla Structures system components.
The greatest benefits of using system components are:
• The connection properties can be saved with a particular name so that they can be used
later. These properties can then be used for all projects.
• When you modify an object’s profile in the model, all of the connections to the object are
automatically modified at the same time.
• If you high light an object and select options such as edit, copy, or mirror, all connections
into the object are automatically included. The connections that are copied or mirrored are
exactly the same as the originals. The same applies to plates and bolts.
• With AutoDefaults you can create rules defining when to use different connection
properties.
All available system components are located in the component catalog, which can be opened
using Ctrl+F or by clicking the binocular icon on the component toolbar.
When applying a connection that you are unfamiliar with, accept the default properties and
create the connection. Then look to see what needs to be modified. This is usually quicker
than trying to set the values for the connection before seeing what the connection actually
creates.
