To install the Tekla plugin just double click on the Tsep file installer AGTPlugin2016+_3.6.tsep
Start Tekla, Open a drawing
Click the Application & components on the right. You can click see Agt_Export
If you select Selected it will use the beams actually selected in your workspace. If All is chosen then all beam assemblies will be exported. Be sure to save your work before using the plugin, because it will alter welds information. After exporting just exit without saving and reopen. By default the directory is the current Tekla project.
Press OK to start the extraction of the Tekla information to AGT file .AGTX.

Import bolted accessories
Will also add the bolted parts to the beam assembly. In Cortex you will see the bolted parts. If you use catch all welding mode then these bolted parts will be welded.

If you want to create specific size and specific weld position then use polygon welds. Cortex will read each polygon welds the same length use in Tekla.
To set the #BM_WeldPosAndSize in the weld:
