[Current Class Schedule]

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.

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.
