Intergraph Smartplant Spoolgen
: SmartPlant SpoolGen offers extensive customization options, allowing it to be tailored to meet the specific needs of a project or company.
SmartPlant Spoolgen is an application built on the powerful ISOGEN engine. It is specifically designed for pipe fabricators and detailers who receive 3D piping data from various design systems. Unlike traditional CAD tools that require manual drafting, Spoolgen takes "as-designed" piping data and converts it into "as-fabricated" spool drawings.
The fabricator receives a PCF or IDF file from the engineering contractor.
Spoolgen eliminates manual drafting entirely. It reads the underlying data of the engineering design. Fabricators simply point and click to define where shop welds and field welds will occur. The software automatically splits the line into spools and regenerates all necessary documentation. Key Features and Capabilities 1. Automated Spool Generation intergraph smartplant spoolgen
Import intelligent piping data (IDF/PCF) from 3D modeling systems.
: Interact with construction teams to define the frequency and layout of spooled isometrics.
(developed by Hexagon PPM) is the industry-standard software application designed to bridge this gap. It automates the creation of piping spool drawings, significantly reducing engineering man-hours, eliminating manual drafting errors, and accelerating the construction pipeline. What is SmartPlant Spoolgen? Unlike traditional CAD tools that require manual drafting,
is designed for the creation and modification of piping designs using a sketch-based interface. It is typically utilized by smaller engineering firms or field engineers to draft new lines or record as-built conditions.
With a single click, Spoolgen processes the data using its built-in Isogen engine. It instantly outputs complete, production-ready documentation without requiring any manual drafting. Key Features and Capabilities Automated Drawing Generation
Intergraph SmartPlant SpoolGen is a software application used for generating and managing piping spools in the process plant design and construction industry. Developed by Intergraph, a leading provider of engineering and design software solutions, SmartPlant SpoolGen is an integral part of the SmartPlant suite of products. The software helps piping designers, engineers, and fabricators to create, manage, and track piping spools efficiently, reducing errors and improving productivity. It reads the underlying data of the engineering design
Shops can adapt spools to fit their exact machinery, crane capacities, or shipping container sizes without breaking the digital thread of data.
During the engineering phase, pipelines are designed as continuous systems running through a plant. However, mechanical contractors cannot build a mile-long pipe in one piece. They must break it down into manageable segments called that can be welded in a shop, transported via truck, and bolted together on-site. Without Spoolgen:
Pipe fabrication is a critical path in the construction of oil and gas facilities, chemical plants, and power generation stations. Traditional workflows often suffer from manual data entry errors, miscommunicated design changes, and poor integration between engineering designs and the shop floor. Hexagon’s Intergraph SmartPlant Spoolgen addresses these inefficiencies by automating the creation of piping spool drawings and driving data-centric fabrication workflows.
