is the core, underlying automation engine developed decades ago to turn piping data into isometric graphics. It is embedded inside almost every major 3D CAD system (including Smart 3D, AutoCAD Plant 3D, and CADWorx). Engineering teams use it to create general un-spooled design isometrics.
Fabricators love the module. Spoolgen can generate:
The user adds fabrication-specific data, such as unique weld identification numbers, specific weld procedures, paint/coating requirements, and non-destructive testing (NDT) flags. intergraph smartplant spoolgen
By eliminating manual re-drafting, spool errors drop by over 70%. "It fit on the first try" becomes the norm, not a miracle.
The tool seamlessly connects with other Hexagon solutions. For instance, fabrication data from Spoolgen can be fed directly into for checking, or into SmartPlant Foundation to update the master asset information lifecycle. Powering Digital Procurement and ERPs
The theoretical benefits of SmartPlant Spoolgen are validated by its track record on major international projects.
At the heart of Spoolgen is ISOGEN, the world's leading engine for automated piping isometric generation. With a single click, the software optimizes drawing layouts, places dimensions, adds annotations, and positions text labels without overlapping. Weld Definition and Tracking Implementing delivers measurable results
: Enables quick updates to "as-designed" piping data to reflect real-world site conditions during erection. Downstream Integration
SmartPlant Spoolgen automates the generation of these isometric drawings from data produced by 3D plant design systems (like Intergraph Smart 3D, PDS, or AVEVA PDMS). It eliminates the need for manual drafting, which is traditionally slow and prone to human error. Key Features and Capabilities Data-Centric Automation
: Companies have reported a tenfold improvement in drawing productivity; a complete set of spool drawings can often be created in 15 minutes or less from a single design isometric.
Welds that will be executed on-site during final assembly, often including an extra length of pipe (margin) to account for real-world tolerances. It is embedded inside almost every major 3D
Because it relies on standard PCF files, users do not need access to the original, expensive 3D CAD design software to create fabrication drawings.
For raw material procurement and inventory tracking.
The software processes the data and outputs highly precise spool drawings, material lists, and weld reports ready for the shop floor. 5. Major Business Benefits Unmatched Productivity
