Controlling project outcomes is key for architects and general contractors. The core benefit of delivering a clash-free 3D BIM model is complete design coordination and dynamic clash detection. Navisworks incorporates advanced model review and simulation features and tools to resolve conflicts in a single model and simulate objects in real-time.

Navisworks offers clash detection reports to allow stakeholders:

  • Model coordination
  • Collaborated project reviews
  • Constructability analysis

What are the benefits of Navisworks in clash detection?

Listed below is a quick snapshot of the top benefits that Navisworks offers to anticipate clashes for pre-emptive decision-making and improved constructability.

  • Better coordination and visualization- Navisworks enhances coordination and visualization with a single federated model, backed by greater software interoperability and a variety of file formats in a single tool
  • Quick clash identification and resolution- Navisworks offers clash detection reports using the “clash detective” tool thereby saving on rework
  • Detect time-based clashes – Navisworks provides time based clashes with the clash detective tool Timeliner
  • Save on construction costs – Navisworks early clash detection capabilities enable error-free installation using quick collision tests between various building elements and systems
  • Save time and achieve better project uniformity – With the various features of Navisworks like quick search and filter tools, stakeholders can save time and gain better project uniformity

Why Navisworks is the preferred tool for clash detection?

Navisworks offers a host of benefits to AEC stakeholders, which is the reason for its increasing use by architects, engineers, contractors and owners. Navisworks provides clash free and coordinated 3D BIM models that enable stakeholders to:

  • Collate design and construction data in a single model through model aggregation for quick review
  • Drive better stakeholder access and collaboration through lighter file versions
  • Photorealistic onsite visualization with real-time material requirements and logistics
  • Extract and display coherent data from various design files or the singular model
  • Better design compliance through detailed coordination between various trades such as Architecture, Structure, and MEP
  • Improve overall understanding of the project through various views generated in 3D
  • Integrated quantification from various file formats to generate automated takeoffs from a well-coordinated and clash-free model

With the new developments in technology, stakeholders can add viewpoint animations to a construction schedule and run simulated tasks to visualize onsite construction.

Conclusion

With several benefits packed into one powerful BIM software, Navisworks is a popular project review tool for architects, engineers, and key construction professionals. Using Navisworks ensures better control of the project outcomes through advanced coordination, clash detection, and streamlined workflows.
