•Advanced Pipe-in-Pipe and Pipe-on-Pipe Modelling
•Detailed Structure Model
•Timetrace Vessel Motions
•User-specified Overbend Radii of Curvature

Wherever these features are discussed in the documentation set there will be a comment to alert you to the fact that they are not available in PipeLay Starter Edition. Note that if you are using a Starter Edition of PipeLay it will be stated on the program’s splash screen, About Box and results files headers.
