Introduction

This lesson provides an overview of the Connections Program. It demonstrates how to design new connections using bolts, nails, rivets, or shear plates, and how to check the capacity of existing connections. The video also highlights features such as producing fully dimensioned, CAD-quality drawings, generating material lists for fasteners and steel plates, and running designs for various connection types.
