Create Penetration in the Equipment Application

A penetration can be created for equipment containing an equipment penetration profile. An equipment penetration profile is defined by an extrusion primitive belonging to an equipment, sub-equipment or equipment template element. The hole created matches the shape of the equipment penetration profile.

To request an Equipment Penetration on the Equipment tab, in the Penetrate group, click Create Penetration to display the Create Penetration window:

When you click Pick Penetrated Items, you are prompted to identify one or more items to be penetrated with a Managed Hole. If an item already in the Penetrated Items list is selected, it is removed from that list.

Click Pick Penetrating Items, you are prompted to identify one or more equipment or sub equipment elements that contain an equipment penetration profile which defines the shape of a Managed Hole required by that equipment. If an item already in the Penetrating Items list is selected, it is removed from that list.

Click OK creates an entry in the Hole Management system, and creates a Penetration Point (DPCA element) on the equipment.

The next step is to change the status of each new penetration to Requested using the Hole Management window. Refer to Create Pipe Penetration with a Penetration Component for further information.
