Autodesk Navisworks Simulate
Autodesk® Navisworks® Simulate software adds the dynamic power of 4D scheduling and photorealism to the real-time visualization and collaborative review capabilities of Autodesk® Navisworks® Review software.

|
Schedule in 4D
- 4D simulation links model geometry to times and dates for playback of construction or demolition sequences to verify building or demolition viability.
- Schedule Linking enables import of times, dates, and other task data from project management software.
- Set up planned and actual times to visualize deviations from the project schedule.
|
- Export 4D simulations into a prerecorded .AVI animation.
- Customize task color and transparency, as well as overlay text.
- Import/export CSV support to export schedule modifications for use in other applications.
- Copy and paste dates.
- Attach selection to multiple tasks.

Present Projects
- Export photorealistic renderings into .AVI animations or still images.
- Benefit from more than 1,000 built-in materials.
- Fully customize and configure every render aspect, including materials, lights, backgrounds, and rendering styles.
|
- Rich Photorealistic Content (RPC) enables easy addition of photographic imagery, such as adding people and trees to scenes.
- HDRI Lighting provides powerful rendering technology for smooth shadows and natural lighting.
- Environment Backgrounds enable easy addition of real-world background scenery.
- Real-time Shaders support OpenGL 2.0 shader language for real-time lighting and shadows.
- Light Scattering effect creates believable night-time imagery.
- Sketch Effects offer a variety of sketch-like, painterly effects.
- Support for real-world lighting intensity units (candela, lumen, lux, foot-candle) and photometric lighting files (.CIB, .CIE, .IES, and .LDT).
- Support for PNG Files with transparency to create your own transparent materials.

Publish The Whole-Project To View
- Publish to and store complete 3D models in a single distributable .NWD model file and 3D DWF™.
- Use the free* Autodesk® Navisworks® Freedom viewer to open any and all .NWD models.
- ActiveX control provides viewing of .NWD models from Internet page or within Microsoft® Office documents, including PowerPoint® presentations.
|
- Powerful compression reduces file size by 70 percent or more compared to original design files.
- Files can be password-encrypted, time expired, made read-only, and they contain all authorship and copyright details.
- Store all review data together with your model.
- Embed or exclude object properties, including external databases read through DataTools.
|
|
Review 3D Projects Regardless of File Size or Format
- Measurements tools enable detailed measurement of distance, area, and angles.
- Store, organize, and share camera views of the design, and export into images or reports.
- Comment on viewpoints with fully searchable notes, including date-stamped audit trail.
|
- Add mark-ups to viewpoints with advanced redlining tools.
- Add cross sections and section planes for close inspection of details.
- Record animated walk-throughs for real-time playback or export as prerecorded .AVI files.
- Use .NWF reference files on open models. The latest version of the CAD design is used, while all previous review data is maintained.
- Read intelligent data from the original design files and view it alongside the model.
- DataTools feature enables import of live data from external databases using SQL through ODBC, which can then be displayed together with the model.
- SwitchBack feature enables easy opening of the current model and viewpoint in the original design software.
- Automate tasks or extend functionality using the extensive COM API.

Streamline Workflow
- Supports all major 3D design and laser scan file formats.
- Streams large models and content intelligently from disk or Internet, enabling navigation around the design as model loads.
- Combines models, regardless of file format, into a single unified model.
|
- Provides smooth, real-time navigation with a range of tools including Walk, Look Around, Zoom, Zoom Box, Pan, Orbit, Examine, Fly, and Turntable.
- Provides gravity, collision detection, and customizable third-person avatars. Enables navigation through models without moving through walls.
