Autodesk Navisworks is a comprehensive project review solution that supports 5D simulation, coordination, analysis, and communication of design intent and constructability. Multidisciplinary design data created in a broad range of Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital prototype, and process plant design applications can be combined into a single, integrated project model. Comprehensive schedule, quantification, cost, animation, and visualization capabilities assist users in demonstrating design intent and simulating construction, helping to improve insight and predictability. Real-time navigation combines with a review toolset to support collaboration among the project team. Entire project models can be published and viewed in NWD and DWF™ file formats to provide valuable digital assets from design through construction. Interference management tools help design and construction professionals anticipate and avoid potential problems before construction begins, minimizing expensive delays and rework (available in Autodesk Navisworks Manage only). Entire project models can be published and freely viewed using Autodesk Navisworks Freedom software.
Autodesk Navisworks Freedom software is the free viewer for NWD and DWF™ file formats. Use Navisworks Freedom to extend the whole-project view to all project stakeholders, helping to improve communication and collaboration. Multidisciplinary models created in a broad range of applications - including information from Building Information Modeling (BIM), digital prototypes, and process plant design - can be combined into a single integrated project model and published into the NWD format using Autodesk Navisworks Simulate or Autodesk Navisworks Manage software. The published file provides access to model hierarchy, object properties, and embedded review data, including viewpoints, animations, markups, and comments.
