How to convert Navisworks (NWD,NWC,NWF) to FlexSim?

PolyTrans|CAD+DCC performs mathematically precise CAD, DCC/Animation, GIS and BIM 3D file conversions into all key downstream 3D packages and file formats. Okino software is used and trusted throughout the world by many tens of thousands of 3D professionals in mission & production critical environments, backed by respectable personal support directly from our core development team.

Navisworks

Autodesk Navisworks products deliver project review software for 3D coordination, 4D planning, photorealistic visualization, dynamic simulation, and accurate analysis. Create a whole-project model by integrating design and construction information, including complex building information modeling (BIM), Digital Prototyping (DP), and process plant data. With Autodesk Navisworks project review software, you can collaborate, coordinate, and communicate more effectively to reduce problems during design and construction.

Navisworks is a key and core product from which Okino customers often receive and/or coordinate their data files. At Okino we have spent the good part of 2 decades writing our DWF-3D importer specifically to import super-ultra-massive files from Navisworks datasets, such as oil & gas rigs, oil refineries, 3D plants, marine vessils, etc.

Note: you would ideally pre-center the model at the origin and pre-scale the model to be of a "sane size" within Navisworks before exporting the DWF-3D file for Okino software consumption. This will ensure that the model displays properly in your final destination 3D software.

FlexSim

FlexSim Simulation Software, developed by FlexSim Software Products, is one of the more powerful tools for modeling, analyzing, visualizing, and optimizing any imaginable process - from manufacturing to supply chains, abstract examples to real world systems, and anything in between.

Okino has long been a key provider of high quality and robust conversion solutions to FlexSim users. The technically best way to move 3D assets into FlexSim, via Okino's conversion software, is with the VRML1 file format. FlexSim also supports the 3ds, DXF, STL and SketchUp file formats.
