Clash detection and its numerous advantages for design and construction professionals For ages when we used to carry out quality control process manually for executing construction projects design and construction professionals had to spend numberless hours for discovering conflicts in the design. In fact after that also conflicts used to prevail in the design which used to be detected only during actual construction. And this used to be really harmful for the productivity of the project. Late project deliveries often resulted from this scenario which used to be quite irritating for the clients.

But this scenario altered quickly after BIM’s adoption by AEC professionals. There are numerous BIM software that are being used by design and construction professionals for enhancing the productivity of the project such as Revit, Navisworks and 3ds Max etc. So numerous BIM software are used for accomplishing different engineering tasks such as, for developing 3D model Revit is used, for detecting clashes in the model Navisworks is utilized and for developing photorealistic architectural images 3ds Max is used.

Apart from Navisworks Revit also performs quality control checks for the models. That means Revit also has an option for interference detection but high end quality control checks can only be performed in Navisworks.

Navisworks’ clash detective tool is trusted by AEC professionals across the world as it never disappoints them when it comes to detecting clashes. All types of complex and minor clashes can be detected between model elements when clash tests are conducted on them. As soon as the clash detection process is completed in the software its results can be observed by the users in Results tab that resides within the clash detective tool. Within the results tab there are still options for viewing different details regarding the results such as ‘Status’ tab include the information regarding the status of the clashes. When we say status of the clashes, it means whether the clashes are reviewed by the users or not, or whether they are resolved or not. For example if the clashes are reviewed by the users they are shown as Reviewed.

In this way Navisworks users can remain clear about the detected clashes which helps them is resolving the clashes easily.

When all the clashes are cleared from the design it helps in smooth construction as well as in on time project deliveries.
