"We have a long-standing relationship with Turner Construction Company, and together we've seen the benefits of BIM and a collaborative project delivery process that includes the entire team, from owners to trade subcontractors," said Jim Lynch, vice president of AEC industry marketing at Autodesk. "We are pleased that Autodesk Navisworks Manage was a component in the success of one of the most high-profile building projects of the year - the new Yankee Stadium."

Navisworks Manage software enhances the review process by enabling design and construction management professionals to aggregate existing design data for visualization, simulate scheduling, and identify interferences to improve productivity and project quality. Design data created in BIM applications such as Autodesk Revit-based products can be combined with geometry and information from other design tools and reviewed in real-time as an entire 3D project. The combination of Navisworks Manage software's precise fault-finding analysis, interference management, dynamic project schedule simulation, and more photorealistic visualization enables advanced project analysis. In addition, entire project models, of various file sizes and formats, canbe published and viewed in NWD and 3D DWF file formats for better team collaboration.

BIM is an integrated process that allows architects, engineers and builders to explore a project digitally before it's built. Coordinated, reliable information is used throughout the process to design innovative projects, accurately visualize appearance for better communication, and simulate real-world performance for better understanding of important characteristics such as cost, scheduling and environmental impact.
