Best Software Application for Collaboration Simulation of 3D Model
Use Cases and Deployment Scope
As a BIM Engineer, we did the modeling of metro stations, substations. Navisworks helps us to combine all the models i.e architecture, structure, electrical together for collaboration and do thorough clash detection at the early stage of our design so that we can remove the clashes by combining all the models and design a clash-free model.
Pros
- Clash detection
- Collaboration
- Simulation
Cons
- The free version of Navisworks is unable to append new files.
- One thing about Navisworks is that it doesn't have the facility to go to the 3D view of a particular area, autodesk may take a look over that.
- Sometimes it shows many clashes for a single clash thus increasing the number of clashes in the final report.
Most Important Features
- Clash detection
- We can open and combine 3D models and navigate them in real-time
- We can set the view points
Return on Investment
- Yes it is worth having Navisworks, as it can detect clashes and its other features help to complete models clash-free thus increasing productivity and saving time.
