Autodesk Releases NavisWorks 2009.1 Portfolio
 SAN
RAFAEL, CA, Aug 14, 2008 - Autodesk, Inc., (Nasdaq: ADSK) today announced
the release of Autodesk NavisWorks 2009.1 software products, supporting the
company's efforts to help make the building information modeling (BIM)
process more accurate and reliable for plant designers and architecture,
engineering and construction (AEC) professionals. The NavisWorks software
products aid project model understanding and include a real-time environment
for rapid review, offering a more reliable way to validate, challenge and
check detailed designs. The new versions of the product line include
enhancements that allow architects, engineers, designers and builders to
better experience a project before it is real by extending their design data
to more project stakeholders through increased compatibility and an improved
user experience.
The Autodesk NavisWorks 2009.1 product line has been localized and is now
available in French, German, Japanese, Russian and Simplified Chinese in
addition to English. In addition, NavisWorks 2009.1 products have been
enhanced with a DGN v8 file reader, uniting 3D content from Autodesk and
Bentley for design validation, logistics analysis and construction
scheduling. With the addition of DGN v8 support, the new 2009.1 versions
feature unique compatibility with most native AEC design and laser scan file
formats. Design data created in the BIM process using tools such as
Autodesk's Revit platform for BIM, can be combined with geometry and
information created with other design tools, and analyzed for design
interferences or constructability.
"The Autodesk NavisWorks 2009.1 product line contributes significantly to
the BIM workflow and helps to ensure that the high quality, coordinated and
consistent information produced during the BIM process extends across the
project," said Peter Thompson, NavisWorks Business Line Director, Autodesk
AEC Solutions. "The NavisWorks 2009.1 product line offers engineers and
designers a whole-project view and the tools required for an all-digital 3D
project review process that is more effective and streamlined to help reduce
risk, and to improve productivity and quality."
Updates were made to the full Autodesk NavisWorks product line, which
enables seamless visualization of all types of models, precise replication
of designs, and accurate simulation of 4D construction schedules. The
NavisWorks products help keep all project stakeholders on the same digital
page, whether they are creating, viewing or reviewing 3D models.
