What is VIKTOR?

On this page you'll understand how VIKTOR revolutionizes engineering workflows. This page provides a comprehensive overview of VIKTOR’s capabilities, benefits, and how it can transform your engineering processes.

Why use VIKTOR?​

As an engineer, you already know the problem: the same calculations, checks, and data transfers keep coming back in every project. Excel grows uncontrolled, scripts live on personal machines, and small changes mean manual rework across tools.

VIKTOR exists to turn that kind of engineering logic into reusable, shareable tools that fit into real projects.

Instead of rebuilding the same solution over and over, you can:

  • Capture engineering logic once and reuse it across projects
  • Automate tasks that normally sit between Excel, CAD, FEM, and reports
  • Test more design variants without increasing manual effort
  • Share your work with colleagues without becoming their support desk
  • Keep calculations transparent and checkable, not hidden in black boxes

VIKTOR is built specifically for engineering work. The platform takes care of deployment, access control, data handling, and governance, so you can focus on the engineering logic itself. That makes it suitable for safety-critical calculations and real project delivery, not just prototypes or one-off scripts.

How VIKTOR works​

VIKTOR is built around three core ideas: build, connect, and share.

Build​

You create tools by describing what you want to automate. If you have little or no coding experience, we recommend starting with the App Builder: you can go from idea to working tool in minutes, directly from your browser, with no installation required. If you prefer to write code in your own IDE on your own computer, follow the local development installation instructions.

The goal is always the same: turn engineering logic into something repeatable and usable by others.

Connect​

VIKTOR connects directly to the tools you already use, such as Autodesk platforms, Rhino, FEM software, geotechnical tools, and data sources. Instead of exporting, copy-pasting, and re-importing, data flows through a single workflow.

This makes changes easier to manage and reduces errors caused by manual transfers.

Share​

Once a tool works, you can share it with your team. Others can use it without touching the underlying logic. The platform handles versioning, access rights, validation, and updates, so improvements propagate automatically. This allows engineering knowledge to scale beyond individual experts and projects.

What can you do with VIKTOR?​

VIKTOR can be used for both small, everyday tasks and larger, multi-tool workflows.

Examples include:

  • Automating recurring calculations such as foundations, reinforcement, settlements, or stability checks
  • Replacing Excel-based workflows with structured, reusable tools
  • Linking CAD, BIM, FEM, and geotechnical models in a single flow
  • Running parametric studies and comparing design alternatives quickly
  • Standardizing calculation methods across teams and projects
  • Turning expert knowledge into tools that colleagues can safely reuse
  • Generating consistent outputs such as reports, dashboards, or design summaries

In practice, this means less manual rework, fewer copy-paste errors, and more time spent on actual engineering decisions.

VIKTOR is not about removing engineering judgment. It is about removing unnecessary manual steps, so you can focus on designing, checking, and improving solutions that matter.
