Navisworks is the developer of vr plant visualization applications. Their main application is Jetstream for engineering vr visualization. The basic philosophy is to develop one main product with a bunch of plug-ins. On their website they brag 7 plug-ins for Jetstream. I have summarized the descriptions from the website and highlight significant verbiage:)
- Roamer- VR walkthrough
- Publisher- Publishes 3D CAD and laser scan to .nwd
- Freedom- Free .nwd viewing software. Get it: http://www.navisworks.com/en/jetstream/overview/freedom/form
- Presenter - Creates images and animations NB?: I can't tell if this also modifies the as built???
- Clash Detective - Reports interferences in a 3D project model --i.e. steal beam running through stairs :(
- TimeLiner - Links 3D model data to project schedules.
- RVM Reader- Read .rvm and associated .rvs files created by AVEVA Plant Design Management System.
I would like to hear from users or Navis people on the presenter (see NB?).
The demos and simple website are a very very good touch for the busy eng that doesn't want to filter through a website that looks like a chemical plant.
The application is a quick and dirty vr viewer for project applications.
Your comments appreciated. Navis people feel free.
