Your computer
Before you install BIMPulse, check that your computer has:
- 64-bit Windows that meets Autodesk's system requirements for your version of Navisworks
- Autodesk Navisworks Manage 2025, 2026, or 2027
- Microsoft .NET Framework 4.8.1
- Microsoft Edge WebView2 Runtime, used by the sign-in window (included with Windows 11)
- Administrator rights to run the installer
For processor, memory, disk space, and graphics, follow Autodesk's system requirements for your version of Navisworks Manage.
Navisworks Manage only
BIMPulse works with Navisworks Manage. It doesn't work with Navisworks Simulate or Navisworks Freedom.
Ready to install? See Installing BIMPulse.
To use BIMPulse
Once BIMPulse is installed, you need:
- A BIMPulse account (every new account starts with a free 30-day trial)
- An internet connection to sign in and keep your license active
- A Navisworks file that has been saved at least once
BIMPulse checks your license about once a minute while Navisworks is open, so it needs an internet connection the whole time. There's no offline mode. See License & Activation Problems if the tools become unavailable.
