                    The following window will appear:

















                    For this example, we will use the 2D spar element as selected in the
                preceding figure. Select the element shown and click OK.
                    You should see Type 1 LINK1 in the Element Types window. Click
                on Close in the Element Types dialog box.
                  5.  Define geometric properties.
                    We now need to specify geometric properties for our elements:
                  In the Preprocessor menu, select: Real Constants > Add/Edit/Delete
