Penetration Manager
Penetration Manager is an automated process that helps identify cutting elements and host elements. It integrates configuration and clash checks to find clashes and the status of penetrations to create a new opening. When elements clash, it validates the number of clashes with the help of configurations. Updating the model creates penetrations on elements using configuration files, clash check files, and a penetration grid view report.

It also has the information option where the you can know if the clash file selection and configuration file selection is disabled.
