Microstation is a CAD software platform for 2D and 3D design and drafting, created by Bentley Systems. Its geometric kernel is Parasolid. It is widely used in the architectural and engineering industries and allows generating 2D/3D vector graphics objects and elements and includes BIM features.
Navisworks® project review software by Autodesk is used to improve the coordination of BIM and AEC projects. Its main function is to define clashes, interferences, and similar conflicts within the design stage and to resolve them.
Navisworks® combines all the data related to the project and lets all relevant parties explore and review it. The software brings together design and engineering data, construction schedules, animated models, and simulation. It allows users to perform comprehensive analysis and accurate control of complex construction works.
A CAD file is an output of a CAD software, containing key information about the designed object: its geometry and topology representation, 3D model hierarchy, metadata, and visual attributes depending on the format of the file.
