4a. Aim: To Create the clash detection test for the architectural or structiral model which are imported from the rivet soft ware.
- The model which is created in the rivet may occur clash, i.e the building model elements may clah with each other the beams, columns,doors,walls, stairs and the clashes canbe reviewd,resolved and approved for the better design and if th clashes are not resolved then the execution of th building is slightly difficult to avoid the clash and to make correction for the design and drawing of the building.
- The clash can be detected by conducting the clash detection test in the navis work manage the list of the clashes which are identified and they can be approved to some extent.
- In general the resolving of the clashes makes the effective model of the building,while the clashes are reviewed and approved by the building model, and it may cause little difference in the size of the model.
Procedure:
- A model can be reviewed or coordinated in the navis work manage after the importing the file from the rivet software. The model is the is reviewed with out any modifications.
- The model which is exported from the rivet is opened in the Navis work manage, Click on the append option in the navis work manage and select the files which is to be managed to conduct the clash detection test.
- Click on the clash detective icon in the ribbon bar and the clash detective menu bar is opened and then click on the add test option and select the files for which we need to conduct the clash detective test and then the name of the test is changed according to the desired state and then click on the run test option in the bottom and the test is conduted for the models which we selected and it displays the total number of the clashes obtained in the model.
- The clashes Which are developed for the models are under the active state and we can change the status of the clashes according to the situation.
- The clashes can be reviewed, resolved and approved and the status can be chnaged according to the condition of the clsh of the model we can also get to know date of the clash when it formed in the building model and they can be resolved according to the date condition.
- After resolving the clashes developed in the model we can reconduct the clash detective test for the model and we can reduce the clashes and it avoid disturbance during the disturbance and as well as during the construction of the building.
- After changing the status of the clashes then the list is formed for the resolved clashes,reviewd clashes and approved clashes of the model, the list helps to know about the clashes which are changed during any time of the design of the building model.
- The final result of the clash detective test for the building model can be formed as shown below.


5a. Aim: To Create the project schedule by adding the reasonable assumptions dates and to simulate the project using the timeline feature in the Navis work for the architectural or structural model which are imported from the rivet soft ware.
- A project is a combination of the various tasks in which one by one is executed in a line which forms the out put in a systematic way with definite properties.
- To complete or execute the tasks in a wy of time, a time schedule is prepared by mentioning the dates or the time period required for the tasks to complete.
- The time schedule is prepared by the time line option in the ribbon bar and the time schedule helps to fix the time period of the project which is useful in the period of the amendment or for the tendering process.
Procedure:
- A model can be reviewed or coordinated in the navis work manage after the importing the file from the rivet software. The model is the is reviewed with out any modifications.
- The model which is exported from the rivet is opened in the Navis work manage, Click on the append option in the navis work manage and select the files which is to be managed to conduct the clash detection test.
- Click on the time liner icon in the ribbon bar and the time liner menu bar is opened and then click on the selection tree and it contains all the levels of the building model like Plinth level,first floor level,second floor level,roof level these levels are used to fix the tasks of the project .
- Click on the add task option in the time liner option and add the first task which is foundation level,Then the assumed start date and end date is entered and then actual start date and actual end date is also eneterd.
- The name of the task of the level is also changed to the respective elevation.
- After the editting the of the task name then the tasktype is also entered whether it may be construction or demolish.Select construction type in the task name type.
- Now attach the task level in the rivet model.click on the attach option in the selection tree option and select the option as select the current selection then the file is attached to the schedule prepared using the task time limit.
- Now the model is simulated to get to know the animation video of the total project which are consructed by the all the tasks involved in the project of the building model.
- Now click on the simualte option in the time liner option and select the save view point in the file menu option,then the animation video of the project is developed and it tells us how the construcion of the project will takes place.
- To see the animation video of the building model click on the play option and it shows the animation video how the each individual task is completed.
- The final result of the Time liner option in the building model can be formed as shown below.
