Create Penetration in the Cable Tray Application

Cable tray penetrations define a penetration where the cable tray passes through the hole, unlike Cable Systems penetrations where penetrations are defined for cables to pass through holes or transition components, and the cable material does not pass through the hole.

Penetrations for cable tray can be defined only for straight pieces and tray modelled as implied tube. Penetrations will not work for curved or multi-way components.

The cable tray catalogue for trays used to make a penetration must contain penetration ATTA components. Requirements for definition of cable tray penetration ATTA components are described in section Project Configuration for Hole Management.
