How do I model a Bicycle frame in FEMAP?

I am very new to using FEMAP, in class we have to use this program. I need to model a bicycle frame for my project. I am having trouble getting started. What is the best way to get started on this? is there a tutorial taht is somewhat related to what I am trying to do to help? Like how to model tubes with welds, etc.

Thanks You

Shane,
This may be too late for you. Model the bicycle in solidworks or something similar. The use Femap to import geometry, pick your bicycle's file. Simple as that.
