<h1>Objective</h1>
Develop an interactive tutorial for use with the IA-FEMesh module in Slicer3.
This tutorial will outline the steps required for using the building block
approach developed for this module. An example dataset for the proximal phalanx
from a cadaveric specimen will be used as the data for the tutorial. At the end
of the tutorial, users should be able to mesh any arbitrary structure from a 
surface defining the object of interest.

<h1>Approach, Plan</h1>
This tutorial will walk users through the multiple stages of
model development that is initiated from a surface defining the
region of interest. This will include
# Building block creation and editing
# Mesh seed specification
# Mesh generation
# Mesh quality visualization and improvement
# Definition of Node/Element sets
# Assignment of material properties
# Assignment of Forces/ Boundary conditions
# Saving of results
