Autodesk Navisworks

A Construction and project coordination software that lets you merge, simulate, and analyse 3D models.
Use Navisworks® review and coordination software to improve project delivery of BIM (Building Information Modeling). It enables the integration of design and construction data into a single federated model, facilitating effective visualisation and collaboration. With Navisworks, project stakeholders can perform clash detection, model reviews, and construction simulations, ensuring seamless coordination and execution across various phases of construction projects.

Autodesk Navisworks supports working with multiple file formats and integrates seamlessly into the Autodesk BIM workflow. The software allows users to recognise collisions and overlaps, create schedules, and plan resource allocation. It is primarily intended for architects, engineers, and construction firms, with the goal of improving the delivery of Building Information Modeling projects.

5 advantages of Autodesk Navisworks

Collision Detection

Identify and resolve clash and interference problems before construction begins, saving time on site and in rework. With Navisworks Simulate, you can automatically recognise and display collisions and overlaps in 3D models, making it easier to identify and resolve issues at an early stage.

Programming

Keep project teams collaborating and connected with Navisworks issues integration in the Autodesk Construction Cloud. Navisworks Simulate allows you to create schedules for the construction process and plan resource allocation, facilitating project coordination.

4D Simulation

Enhance project scheduling and sequencing through 4D and 5D simulations, providing better control over timelines and budgets. Navisworks Simulate offers the ability to visualise the construction process in an animated 4D simulation. This allows those involved in the project to gain a better understanding of the processes and identify problems at an early stage.

Analysis and optimisation

Improve interoperability with various design applications like AutoCAD and Revit, ensuring smooth data exchange and model integration. Navisworks Simulate offers a suite of analysis and optimisation tools that enable users to simulate and optimise the performance of buildings and infrastructure.

BIM Integration

Visualise and unify design and construction data within a single federated model. Navisworks Simulate is tightly integrated into the BIM (Building Information Modeling) workflow. It allows you to merge and simultaneously visualise BIM models from different disciplines to verify their compatibility and identify problems early.

Why Choose Navisworks?

Navisworks offers an extensive range of features designed to improve BIM project delivery. It integrates seamlessly with other Autodesk tools, providing a comprehensive project coordination and review solution.

Control schedules and costs using 4D and 5D simulation

Animate and interact with model objects for simulation, create schedules directly from project models, and import schedules and cost items from external project management applications.

Easily capture material quantities from 2D or 3D designs

Measure lines, areas, and counts from 2D sheets or 3D models, create synchronised project views from Revit and AutoCAD files, and export Takeoff data to Excel for analysis.

Enhance Visualisation with Model Aggregation

Combine design data created in various applications, such as AutoCAD and Revit, into a single integrated model. This comprehensive view allows for improved project review and coordination.

Streamline Clash Detection and Resolution

Navisworks' advanced clash detection tools enable users to identify and resolve potential conflicts early in the construction process. They generate detailed clash reports and manage issues efficiently to avoid costly on-site problems.

Run seamless projects with Autodesk project delivery tools

Connect field and studio teams with compatible BIM tools. Detect, manage, and resolve constructability challenges with Navisworks, Revit, and the Autodesk Construction Cloud. Navisworks, Revit and more are available in the Architecture, Engineering & Construction Collection.

Facilitate Better Communication with Project Stakeholders

Use Navisworks to create clear, detailed visualisations that help convey complex project information to all stakeholders. This ensures everyone is on the same page and facilitates smoother project execution.

What is Autodesk Navisworks used for?

Navisworks project review software improves coordination on BIM (Building Information Modelling) projects. The tool is most commonly used to:

Site Logistics Planning - Visualise and optimise construction site logistics, ensuring efficient material and equipment movement.
Safety Management - Simulate safety scenarios to identify potential hazards and implement preventive measures.
Stakeholder Engagement - Create immersive 3D presentations for client meetings to facilitate better understanding and decision-making.
Regulatory Compliance - Ensure compliance with local building codes and regulations through detailed model analysis.
Asset Management - Utilise model data for post-construction facility management, aiding in maintenance and operations.

Who Uses Navisworks?

AEC teams use Navisworks Manage for clash detection and advanced coordination, leading to better project outcomes. They also use Navisworks Simulate to facilitate smooth 3D model reviews.

Can I Install Navisworks on Multiple Computers?

With a subscription to Navisworks software, you can install it on up to 3 computers or other devices. However, only the named user can sign in and use that software on a single computer at any time. Please refer to the Autodesk License Agreement for more information.
