NAVISWORKS MEP & BIM COORDINATION

BIM Coordination & Clash Resolution

AUTODESK NAVISWORKS MEP COURSE

Duration: 1 - 1.5 Months (40 Hours) Mode: Classroom & Live Online Eligibility: MEP Engineers, BIM Modelers & Architects Certification: Professional BIM Coordinator

Course Overview

Autodesk Navisworks Manage is the industry’s foremost 3D model aggregation, clash detection, and project review software. It enables MEP consultants, contractors, and project managers to combine 3D models across various CAD and BIM software (Revit, AutoCAD, Tekla, Civil 3D) into a single master federation model.

This course empowers engineers to perform automated hard and clearance clash detection between HVAC ducts, structural beams, electrical trays, and plumbing lines. You will learn to generate actionable HTML/Excel clash matrices, run TimeLiner 4D construction schedule simulations, perform 3D animated walkthroughs, and utilize the Switchback tool to resolve clashes directly in Revit.

What You Will Learn

Clash Detective

Automated hard/soft clash matrix, grouping & status tracking.

4D TimeLiner Scheduling

Linking Microsoft Project / Primavera with 3D model elements.

Walkthrough & Animations

Fly-through camera navigation, viewpoints & client presentations.

Revit Switchback

Instant round-trip coordination to locate & fix clashes in Revit.
