Navisworks helps you improve coordination, run realistic construction simulations, and analyze the full project for integrated model review. Navisworks Simulate is focused on visualization and review, while Navisworks Manage adds advanced tools for clash detection and clash management.
Navisworks also connects with Autodesk Forma Data Management for document management and Autodesk Insight for more powerful analysis. Navisworks Manage is included in the Autodesk AEC Collection.
Navisworks helps teams combine project models, improve collaboration, identify issues earlier, and maintain a clearer overview across the full BIM workflow.
Minimized errors
All project participants can combine their 3D models into one central building model. These models can then be exchanged, reviewed, and coordinated together to reduce planning errors earlier.
Easy to use
Navisworks solutions are designed to be easy to use even without CAD knowledge or design software experience, which makes them practical for broader project teams.
Clear project overview
Navisworks compresses 3D project files for visualization and real-time virtual walkthroughs. Teams can move through complex models, explore details, and review the project together with a clearer overall view.
Higher project quality
With clash detection in Navisworks Manage, model conflicts can be reviewed quickly so planning issues are identified before construction starts, helping reduce rework time and project delays.
Difference between Navisworks Manage and Navisworks Simulate
Navisworks is available in two versions: Navisworks Manage and Navisworks Simulate. Manage is the more complete version and is primarily used for clash detection and advanced communication. Simulate is the lighter version and is focused on smooth 3D model review without clash detection.
Navisworks Manage
Use Navisworks Manage for simulation and analysis, model evaluation, quantification, coordination and clash detection, plus issue integration with Construction Cloud and Revit.
Navisworks Simulate
Use Navisworks Simulate for simulation and analysis, model evaluation, and quantification when clash detection is not required.
