Hole Management Enhancements - *12​.1​.SP4*

Hole management functions have been enhanced in PDMS 12.1.SP4. In addition to various defect corrections, the changes consist of:

• Improved support for managed penetrations through SCTN, GENSEC, STWALL and WALL elements in PDMS Design. Managed fitting holes were not supported in these elements in earlier versions of PDMS 12.1. Free hole penetrations remain unsupported in these elements.

• Support for cable tray as a penetrating discipline, where the cable tray material forms a full penetration, as for piping penetrations. This does not replace existing Cabling System hole management, which is designed to handle cables (without cable tray) passing through transition pieces.

• Support for penetrations through FLOOR elements.

• Support for free holes and fitting holes in FLOOR elements in the Walls & Floors Application.

• Improved presentation of penetration validation errors in the hole management form.

• Autonaming for penetrating marker (for example, ATTA element) creation.

The MAS project has been updated to include penetration ATTA components for MDGLG, HDCTG and SCTG cable tray specifications. Other cable tray catalogue data has not been exten ded to include penetration ATTAs. MAS has also been extended to add very s imple fittings for floor penetrations, and to make new hatches available to the steel panel Fitting Hole function.
