Autodesk Navisworks software solutions enable project design, engineering, construction, and manufacturing professionals to unite contributions into a single building or process plant model. Autodesk Navisworks building analysis software helps you to detect and resolve problems early in the design process. It also enables you to share 3D design data reliably and quickly with suppliers and partners, facilitating collaboration and accelerating design and review cycles. Autodesk Navisworks software for manufacturing provides companies with a comprehensive set of tools for large-scale visualization and optimization, multi-CAD data aggregation of factory models and team collaboration. This is multilanguage: Russian, English, Spanish, French, Italian, Japanese, Korean..
Autodesk NavisWorks Manage 2010
Autodesk NavisWorks Manage software is a powerful solution for design and construction management professionals, providing control and peace of mind for advanced analysis and coordination of 3D models. Design data created in building information modeling (BIM) applications such as the Revit® family of products can be combined with geometry and information from other design tools and reviewed as an entire project, regardless of file size or format. Early fault prediction and error recognition help prevent later, more costly, miscalculations. NavisWorks Manage combines precise fault-finding analysis of interferences together with dynamic 4D simulation of project schedules and photorealistic visualization.
Autodesk NavisWorks Review 2010
Autodesk NavisWorks Review software improves quality by enabling real-time visualization, exploration, and experience of entire design projects before they are real. 3D design data created in building information modeling (BIM) applications such as the Revit family of products can be combined with geometry and information created with other design tools and reviewed, regardless of file size or format. Accessible building Information models enable project stakeholders to collaborate effectively, and provide valuable assets after construction is complete. Dynamic navigation and an intuitive review toolkit improve understanding of even the most complex 3D models. Entire project models can be published and freely viewed in NWD and DWF™ formats.
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate 2010
Autodesk NavisWorks Simulate software adds the power of 4D analysis and photorealism to Autodesk® NavisWorks® Review software. Design professionals can create clear, descriptive content that helps demonstrate design intent and validate decisions. 3D design data created in building information modeling (BIM) applications such as the Revit® family of products can be combined, regardless of size, with geometry and information created using other design tools, emulating real-life experiences and the project construction process. Entire projects can be replicated with dynamic, photorealistic visualizations and 4D construction schedules to demonstrate design-and-build options. Project models can be published in NWD and DWF™ formats for free viewing.
Autodesk NavisWorks Freedom 2010
Autodesk NavisWorks Freedom software is the free* viewer for published Autodesk NavisWorks NWD files. NavisWorks Freedom and NWD files give all stakeholders access to the whole-project view.

John Dixon "The Shock Absorber Handbook"
Wiley | 2007-11-09 | ISBN: 047051020X | 432 pages | PDF | 14,7 MB
Every one of the many millions of cars manufactured annually worldwide uses shock absorbers, otherwise known as dampers. These form a vital part of the suspension system of any vehicle, essential for optimizing road holding, performance and safety.
This, the second edition of the Shock Absorber Handbook (first edition published in 1999), remains the only English language book devoted to the subject. Comprehensive coverage of design, testing, installation and use of the damper has led to the book's acceptance as the authoritative text on the automotive applications of shock absorbers. In this second edition, the author presents a thorough revision of his book to bring it completely up to date. There are numerous detail improvements, and extensive new material has been added particularly on the many varieties of valve design in the conventional hydraulic damper, and on modern developments such as electrorheological and magnetorheological dampers.
"The Shock Absorber Handbook, 2nd Edition" provides a thorough treatment of the issues surrounding the design and selection of shock absorbers. It is an invaluable handbook for those working in industry, as well as a principal reference text for students of mechanical and automotive engineering.

Construction Process Improvement
Publisher: Wiley-Blackwell | Pages: 272 | 2003-01-27 | ISBN: 0632064625 | PDF | 2 MB
The construction process has come under intense scrutiny in recent times and this is set to continue as building owners and users demand better value for money from a more sustainable built environment. The construction sector’s actors are responding to the challenges implicit in this drive for greater competitiveness and social responsibility. New forms of procurement, innovation programmes, knowledge management, CAD-supported processes, predictive and diagnostic tools, and many more initiatives are helping to transform the sector.
Construction Process Improvement showcases 21 examples of how directed efforts are being taken to raise productivity and quality, reduce waste and costs, and provide more certain and durable products for the sector’s customers. Each example is the subject of a closely coupled collaborative project in which answers are being sought on matters of strategic importance to companies. The chapters that describe and discuss these projects balance state-of-the-art reviews with details of the work being undertaken and, in many cases, the results that are being implemented within the companies.
Construction Process Improvement deals with issues that matter to best practice companies and researchers in industry and universities. It covers, amongst other topics, modularisation for manufactured housing, life cycle methods in housing, commercial buildings and services installations, tools and techniques for performance prediction and diagnostics, coordination of design and production processes, novel use of traditional materials, new forms of procurement and the role of innovation, public private partnerships, partnering structures, learning organisations, management of major refurbishment, management information systems, TQM and continuous improvement, CAAD methodology, tools and 4-D CAD, and facilities management.
This book analyses the way forward for improving the construction process, in particular the links between research and development and industrial competitiveness. The implementation of new methods and thinking in companies is examined and important advice for senior managers and researchers is offered.

How Buildings Work
The Natural Order of Architecture
How Buildings Work: The Natural Order of Architecture
Oxford University Press | ISBN: 019516198X | September 1, 2005 | 288 pages | PDF | 15 MB
Illustrated with hundreds of illuminating line drawings, this classic guide reveals virtually every secret of a building's function: how it stands up, keeps its occupants safe and comfortable, gets built, grows old, and dies--and why some buildings do this so much better than others. Drawing on things he's learned from the many buildings he himself designed (and in some cases built with his own hands)
