The Autodesk® Navisworks® 2020:
Using Autodesk Navisworks in a BIM Workflow guide teaches you how to better
predict project outcomes, reduce conflicts and changes, and achieve lower
project risk using the Autodesk® Navisworks® Manage
software in a BIM workflow.
Building Information
Modeling (BIM) encompasses the entire building life cycle. BIM includes all
phases of the design process, from model creation to construction and ending at
operations and maintenance. Using a BIM workflow, you will learn how a design changes
throughout the BIM process and how the changes affect the BIM model.
Over the course of
this guide, you will learn how to consolidate civil, architectural, structural,
and MEP models into one BIM model. Starting with an Autodesk® Civil
3D® drawing file, you will append various Autodesk® Revit®
and Autodesk® Inventor® models and check for conflicts. Note:
Clash Detection is only available in Navisworks Manage – it is not available in
Navisworks Simulate or Navisworks Freedom.
Next, you will use
review and markup tools for communicating issues across disciplines. Finally,
you will use TimeLiner, Animator, and Clash Detective to simulate construction
and find constructibility issues and on-site clashes.
This guide is
designed for new and experienced users of the Autodesk Navisworks software in
multiple disciplines.
