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 user opens the file in Spoolgen and defines the spool breaks based on transport limits or crane capacity. intergraph smartplant spoolgen
The fabricator receives a PCF or IDF file from the engineering contractor. SmartPlant Spoolgen is an application built on the
Manual drafting is prone to human error. Because Spoolgen uses the digital data directly from the design model, the dimensions and component specs remain 100% accurate. This eliminates the "transcription errors" that often lead to expensive onsite fixes. 2. Faster Project Turnaround The user opens the file in Spoolgen and
The data exported from Spoolgen can be fed directly into Fabrication Information Management (FIM) systems or ERP software. This creates a seamless digital thread from the engineering office to the welding station. How it Fits into the Workflow
The software acts as a bridge. It allows fabricators to add critical shop-floor information—such as field weld locations, pipe support details, and material allocations—without needing access to the original 3D plant model or high-end engineering software. Key Features and Capabilities Automated Isometric Generation
Users can easily define where a pipe should be broken into spools. The software tracks each spool’s identity, weight, and dimensions, making it easier to manage logistics and assembly. Weld Tracking and Numbering
