Generates comprehensive weld data and material lists, facilitating in-house production analysis and NDT evaluation.
When a pipeline is split into spools, Spoolgen automatically calculates and generates a precise BOM for each specific spool , alongside a total material list for the entire line. This eliminates material allocation guesswork and reduces scrap fabric. 5. Integration with Fabrication Automation
As projects demand higher digital maturity, Spoolgen fits into a broader digital ecosystem, often referred to as "digital handover" or "connected applications".
The standard workflow involves checking out a pipeline, modifying its fabrication data, and generating drawings . Introducing Spoolgen Plus Video – Intergraph PP&M
: Instead of redrawing from scratch, Spoolgen takes data from design tools like Intergraph Smart 3D and automatically generates intelligent piping isometrics. Prefabrication Precision
: The reduction in manual data entry and automated generation of spools and material lists minimize errors, ensuring that fabrication is based on accurate data.
A typical SmartPlant Spoolgen workflow is seamless and efficient:
Intergraph SmartPlant Spoolgen is an automated, data-driven application designed to generate piping spool drawings and fabrication data from 3D engineering design data.
By eliminating the need to redraw isometrics and manually re-create material take-off reports, Spoolgen dramatically reduces the risk of piping data errors, avoiding expensive rework and saving time and associated cost. It helps reduce manual data entry errors by up to 95%.
[ Engineering PCF File ] │ ▼ [ Import into Spoolgen ] ───► Verify specs, insulation, and design data │ ▼ [ Define Spool Breaks ] ───► Add/move welds, define shop vs. field fabrication │ ▼ [ Add Fabrication Data ] ───► Assign spool numbers, add weld IDs, specify NDE │ ▼ [ Generate Deliverables] ───► Output Isometric PDFs, BOMs, CNC data, and Weld logs
The typical workflow utilizing Spoolgen ensures a smooth transition from design to fabrication:
: Users define spools by simply marking field weld positions on-screen; the software handles the drafting. Consistency
