[. . . ] Navisworks software products provides stakeholders a wholeproject view for improving design decision making, construction documentation, and performance prediction and planning, straight through to management and operation of the facility. The Autodesk Navisworks software family consists of four products to help you and your extended teams experience enhanced control, and use existing 3D design data to gain insight and predictability to improve productivity and quality on even your most complex projects. Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage software is the comprehensive review solution used by design and construction management professionals for smooth-running projects. Navisworks Manage combines precise faultfinding analysis and interference management together with dynamic 4D project schedule simulation and photorealistic visualization. Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate software offers precise replication of design intent and modeling of 4D construction schedules, enabling previsualization of construction projects. Virtually experiencing your project in a visual context before physical work begins enables more complete evaluation and verification of the materials and textures appropriate to your intended design. Autodesk® Navisworks® Review software enables whole-project real-time visualization and review of various file formats regardless of file size. Autodesk® Navisworks® Freedom software is the free* viewer for files in Autodesk Navisworks NWD and 3D DWF TM formats. Work Together, Surge Ahead Autodesk Navisworks software solutions enable project design and building professionals to unite their contributions into a single, synchronized building model rich in information. Autodesk Navisworks Manage Coordinated, Consistent, Complete Including all the functionality of both Autodesk Navisworks Review software and Autodesk Navisworks Simulate software with powerful clash detection capabilities, Autodesk Navisworks Manage software provides the most comprehensive Navisworks design review solution for your construction project. [. . . ] Navisworks Simulate enables you to quickly apply or read textures, materials, and lights to or from existing 3D models. You can also apply RPC content to your existing models. Navisworks Simulate enables project stakeholders to see the future results of their work through interactive, realistic renderings and walk-throughs. 4D simulations and object animations simulate design intent, stimulate design ideas, and enable exploration of every design possibility. In addition, the software enables smooth, shared review at every stage of the creative process, helping to reduce errors, enhance quality, and save time and money. Simulation in 4D enables better planning and helps identify risk at the earliest possible stage, reducing potential waste. By providing a clear, common understanding of design intent, construction plans, and current project status, Navisworks Simulate demonstrates construction schedules by linking 3D model data to project schedules for fast 4D visualization. Navisworks Simulate enables more complete emulation of the appearance and construction of your project. Experiencing your project before it is real, at any time in the process, makes for more accurate planning and less guesswork. Autodesk Navisworks Review Visualize, Explore, Experience Autodesk Navisworks Review software extends access to existing design data to enable real-time visualization, exploration, and experience of 3D projects before they are real. Accessible building information models enable project stakeholders to focus and collaborate more effectively, and provide valuable information after the designing and building is over. Dynamic navigation and an intuitive project review toolkit improve understanding of even the most complex 3D models. Compatible with most major 3D design and laser scan formats, Navisworks Review can quickly combine 3D files into one shared virtual model, enabling stakeholders to review geometry, object information, and linked ODBC databases. Collision detection, gravity, and a third-person view further improve the realism of the Navisworks Review experience. Quickly create and output animation and viewpoints into still pictures or movie formats. Cross-sectioning, markup, measurement, and text overlay capabilities are also available, together with the ability to play back content created in Autodesk Navisworks Simulate. Autodesk Navisworks Freedom Freedom to View All simulations and output saved in NWD format using Navisworks Review, Navisworks Simulate, or Navisworks Manage can be viewed with Autodesk Navisworks Freedom, the free* viewer that works just like it sounds. Navisworks Freedom offers design professionals an invaluable means of communication with compressed, secure, and streamable project review files in NWD format. A practical solution to streaming large CAD models, NWD files require no model preparation, third-party server hosting, setup time, or ongoing costs. Files may also be viewed in 3D DWF format. Effective collaboration is achieved through easier communication of design intent, collaborative reviews of stakeholder contributions, and sharing of all results. Autodesk Navisworks solutions are now crucial to everything we do. --Andrew Manington T5 Production Support Manager British Airport Authority Learn More or Purchase Access specialists worldwide who can provide product expertise, a deep understanding of your industry, and value that extends beyond your software purchase.
