    Hello and thank you for using the Beta.

    There is not a direct way to add components to the class diagram.  You can create a Component diagram for all of your components interactions.  The main integration between class diagrams and components diagrams is through the use of interfaces.  You can define interfaces on the class diagram, along with realizing classes.  Then use those same interfaces as provided or required interfaces on components, by drag/drop the interface from the UML model explorer onto a component. 

    I hope this helps.

    Thanks,
    Mark
