This menu enables you to add new folders and components to the project. Ribbon menus, shown in the figure below, are utilised in the Insert tab to logically group components together in accordance with their relevant locations in the project creation process. A total of five buttons are ribbon menus, namely Line, Stinger, Vessel, Model and Load.

The full list of components available on the Insert tab is provided in the table below, which is sorted based on the groups or ribbon menus in which the components are located. Note that the Support and Tensioner components appear in both the Stinger and Vessel ribbon menus and so these components are shown twice in the table in the interest of clarity.
