Penalty is not the right term. The opponents have set ♥ as trump their not playing in any other suit (NT still possible but unlikely). 3♣ is a game or slam try and while shows something there is somewhat artificial. Normally your double would suggest a lead or sacrifice in ♣.
Knowing that they are unlikely to be able to play in ♣, if this is what programmers meant it gives them a free shot at suggesting ♦ & ♠. I'd rather show ♣ otherwise the 3♣ bid could keep suit from being led. After all if you have ♦ & ♠ you could have used Michaels earlier and with lesser distribution why would you be suggesting a high-level contract?

Steve: To help Georgi, what specifically are you suggesting that the description of West's double should be?

My double is penalty to a new suit at 3 level in deed, of course,it should including leading directly double.
However strangely,the explanations of my double is takeout.I think it is incorrect,ok?
