1. 1. New SpaceClaim Geometry
   2. Change units
      1. File>SpaceClaim Options>Units
      2. Change length to meters
      3. Change minor grid spacing to .1 m
   3. Import Wing
      1. Sketch New Sketch Plane
      2. XY plane
      3. Assembly>File
         1. Choose All Files
         2. Open NACA_0012_Airfoil_4Meters.txt
      4. Close trailing edge
      5. Return to 3D Mode
   4. Pull Wing
      1. Design>Edit>Pull
      2. Select the upper curve from the tree, select the Design tab and then “Pull” the curve to 15m. 
      3. Go into the Repair tab and box select the surface you have just created. “Merge Surfaces.”
      4. Repeat for the lower curve. 
      5. Pull the trailing edge profile to meet the length of the wings. Pull all three surfaces (Top half of wing, bottom half of wing, trailing edge) 15 meters
   5. Create Ribs and Spars
      1. Create Plane Along Z Axis
         1. Design>Create>Plane
         2. Move plane to designated position (Design>Edit>Move)
      2. Design>Mode>Sketch Mode
         1. Click on new plane
         2. Design>Sketch>Project to Sketch
            1. Click on the curves that represent the top/bottom of the airfoil
            2. Click on the trailing edge
         3. Click on Fill
            1. Select all three surfaces again
   6. Repeat process for each rib
   7. Repeat process for each spar but along the X axis
   8. Share Topology
      1. Click on Design1
      2. Properties>Analysis
      3. Share topology: Share
