 Autodesk NavisWorks Essentials Courseware Description
Course Description:
In this courseware, using hands-on exercises that demonstrate the functionality of the Autodesk NavisWorks Review, Simulate, and Manage features, students learn how to open, review, and run object-interference checks on 3D models. Students also learn how to link to task-scheduling files and create 4D construction simulations. Using the Animator and Scripter tools, students create interactive animations. In addition, students learn how the Presenter tools can help them to create photorealistic images and animations. This courseware provides students with the skills and knowledge to use NavisWorks effectively.
Suggested Course Duration: 2 days
Trial CD: Yes
Onscreen Exercises Included? Yes
Training Objectives
The primary objective of this courseware is to teach students how to combine 3D geometry from cross disciplines into one scene to enable effective model reviews. Students also learn to use the Clash Detective, TimeLiner, Animator, Scripter, and Presenter tools competently within NavisWorks.
After completing this course, students will be able to:
- Describe the main features and functionality of the NavisWorks products.
- Open and append 3D files of different formats and save them in a NavisWorks format.
- Create links to external scheduling files and object properties in external database files.
- Perform visual project model reviews using the built-in review and reporting tools.
- Create construction simulations of a project model to check the validity of construction schedules.
- Use Animator and Scripter to create interactive animations for presentations and demonstrations.
- Add true-to-life materials, lighting, and backgrounds to project models to create photorealistic output.
- Perform interference detection tests between 3D files of different disciples to check the integrity of the design.
Who Should Attend
This courseware is designed for new and experienced NavisWorks users who need to become familiar with all the main tools within NavisWorks.
Pre-requisites:
Before using this courseware, students should have working knowledge of 3D design and task-scheduling software.
