Autodesk Navisworks Simulate 2011

Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate software adds the power of 4D analysis and photorealism to Autodesk NavisWorks Review software. Design professionals can create clear, descriptive content that helps demonstrate design intent and validate decisions. 3D design data created in building information modeling (BIM) applications such as the Revit family of products can be combined, regardless of size, with geometry and information created using other design tools, emulating real-life experiences and the project construction process. Entire projects can be replicated with dynamic, photorealistic visualisations and 4D construction schedules to demonstrate design-and-build options. Project models can be published in NWD and DWF formats for free viewing.

Benefits:

• Aggregate large 3D CAD models from a wide variety of formats into a single highly compressed file that you can visually explore in real-time.
• Broaden participation in design process by way of commenting, redlining tools and free viewing technology.
• Select components on the basis of data attached in the original CAD file or held in external databases.
• Visually distinguish selected model components using criteria derived from attached data.
• Enhance the realism of any design with visually compelling renderings and walkthoughs.
• Automates 4D visual planning methods.

Features:

• Open all major 3D design and laser scan file formats.
• In-View Measurements.
• Improved Workflow.
• Enhanced Interoperability.
• Intelligently stream content from disk or over the internet, enabling smooth 3D navigation around the design whilst the model is still loading.
• Create a single unified model from a combination of 3D data from a large variety of sources.
• Read intelligent data from the original design files or attach external databases records and view alongside the model.
• Store,organise and share camera views of the design.
• Add date-stamped notes to viewpoints and locate with search tools.
• Add gravity, collision detection and customisable 3rd person avatars to facilitate 'real world' navigation around the model without moving through walls.
• Use redline tools to add markup to camera views.
• Take detailed measurements from imported models.
• Reference the latest model versions at all times by use of nwf format, rather than 3D file conversion.
• Apply multiple sections through model in any direction for greater clarity.
• Utilise 3GB support to load even larger models into memory.
• Apply texture materials, lighting, RPC’s and background effects and record animated design components.
• Integrate construction or de-commission schedule into model and present sequence as a colour-coded animation.
