• Then open the project file you have made in week 6 challenge.

Step 2: Open the File in Naviswork.

• Click on the File Tab.
• The click on Export Icon >NWC files

• Save the files as per their name.
• Now Open the Naviswork
• Then Click on File Menu
• Then open the NWC files You have Saved.

 

2) Use Navigate Tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created and record your moving as animation in your Navisworks file

Aim: By using the Navigate Tool to walk around the model and walk through the rooms created.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the Architecture NWC files.

• Open the Navis Work 2023
• Then Click on File Menu
• Select the Architecture file

Step 2: Recording the Walk-through animations.

• Click on the View Point
• Set the view with the help of Zoom tool.
• Click on the Walk icon
• Start walk and record the animation.
• After Recording save the animations recorded and give appropriate name to it.

3) Use Navigate tool to use Realism feature to walk through the model and record your moving as animation in Navisworks file.

Aim: By Using Navigate tool and use Realism feature to walk through the model.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the Architecture NWC files.

• Open the Navis Work 2023
• Then Click on File Menu
• Select the Architecture file

Step 2: Recording the Walk-through animations.

• Save viewpoint and start recording.
• Navigate through the building by slowly moving your cursor.
• Repeat these steps for entire building.

Step 3: Saving the Recordings.

• Click on Animation tab.
• Then Click on export Recording
• Then save the recording with appropriate names.

 

4) Embed both architecture and structure *.nwc file to your Navisworks file. Create a clash detection test between the two models
              a. Run the Clash Detection Test
              b. Study the clashes between the two models
              c. List which of the clashes could be approved
              d. List which of the clashes could be neglected ( will be taken care later)
              e. List which of the clashes can be resolved
              f. Save the results after color coding the clashes to the Navisworks file
              g. In case of resolution annotate the clash and save the view to defined views in Navisworks

Aim: Embed both architecture and structure NWC files to your Navisworks file and Create a clash detection test between them.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the Architecture NWC files and Append the Structural files.

• Open the Navis Work 2023
• Then Click on File Menu
• Select the Architecture file and open it.
• Then click on the Append Icon
• Open the Structure File.

Step 2: Running the Clash Detection test.

• Click on Add test and rename it as Task 1.
• Then select Arch.nwc in Section A and Structural.nwc in Section B.
• Select the surface option. 
• Click on Run test.

Step 3: View the Clash Test.

View the Clash detection test and change their status accordingly.

Step 4: Export the result.

• To export the colour coding of clashes in .xml file click the dropdown the Import/Export Clash test.
• Select the Clash Detection Test.
• Save the file with appropriate name.

 

5) Using the Timeliner feature in Navisworks prepare a schedule for the project developed in week 6 to 8 by adding reasonable assumptions for task start date and end date and simulate the task completion as a visual simulation. Record it and save the timeline simulation to Navisworks file

Aim: Prepare a schedule for the project adding reasonable assumptions for task start date and end date.

Procedure:

Step 1: Open the Architecture NWC files.

• Open the Navis Work 2023
• Then Click on File Menu
• Select the Architecture file

Step 2: Opening the Timeliner Feature.

• Click the Timeliner icon from the Home tab.
• Timeliner window will open on the Screen.
• Then Open the Selection tree.

Step 3: Adding task with the Appropriate name and start date and end date.

• Rename the task with appropriate name.
• Enter the Planned and actual start date and end date.
• Select the task type for each activity as Construct.
• From the selection tree window, select the standards one by one.
• In Timeliner window dropdown attach option and click on attach to current section.

Step 4: Start Stimulating the work

• Select Simulation tab from the Timeliner window.
• Click on Play button to start Stimulate.

Step 5: Export the Animation:
