PLAXIS Monopile Designer CE licenses

Some features of PLAXIS Monopile Designer can be used stand-alone, while others require a concurrent PLAXIS 3D license, together with Geotechnical SELECT Entitlements (GSE). PLAXIS Monopile Designer can be used stand-alone with rule-based or user-supplied soil reaction curves. It requires PLAXIS 3D and GSE for numerical-based calibration of soil reaction curves, and for 3D verification.
