What Autodesk Navisworks is
Autodesk Navisworks is Windows software for reviewing and coordinating 3D models across multiple disciplines. Both listed plans include model review, quantification, and coordination. Navisworks Simulate also includes simulation, while Navisworks Manage adds clash detection and interference management. The product supports IFC, cloud collaboration, quantity takeoff, and API access. A free plan and a 30-day trial are listed. Mobile access is not available. The software can therefore support teams working across disciplines and model formats, with cloud collaboration for shared work and API access for connected workflows. Autodesk, the maker, was founded in 1982 and is headquartered in San Francisco, California. Buyers can select the plan whose listed capabilities match their review, simulation, clash-detection, and interference-management needs.
