VIKTOR

Our AI developers recently took on an exciting challenge: to create a service using artificial intelligence that helps designers generate 3D models based on given parameters and conditions. This service must suggest alternative designs with similar specifications, using existing building models as a base. They also had the chance to test the VIKTOR platform, which turned out to be a fantastic tool for building web applications.

We are very proud that our colleague Sylvain van der Meer visited KBR, Inc.'s Chennai office along with Aron Pain, Arun Venkadesh, and Santoosh to educate fellow engineers on creating applications for automating workflows. Congratulations to everyone for participating and achieving your Level 2 app development certificate with VIKTOR! 👏👏   #AutomateTheBoringEngineerTheAwesome

A clunky, confusing app will drive users away, and it's incredibly tough to win them back. If you want people to love and stick with your app, user-friendliness is key! 🗝️ Anande Bergman wrote in this blog 9 essential tips to enhance your app’s usability and improve user experience: https://lnkd.in/eFQDYxMZ #appdevelopment #UXtips #UItips

I’ve always drawn a lot of energy from seeing people use and share the apps I’ve created. There’s something magical about watching ‘your creation’ come to life. 🪄 But how do we get more people to use our apps? Many believe that adding more features will automatically attract more users because it's ‘better’, right? Well, not always. Someone once told me: “User experience is more important than your mother.” It’s a bit exaggerated, but he made a good point. If users struggle to get things done, they'll leave, and it's extremely hard to win them back. That’s why I wrote this blog with 9 tips to help you make more user-friendly apps! I would love to get your feedback on it and that you share tips too. ➡ Blog: https://lnkd.in/ecUbV6Cn

Truss Calculator App - Free project just published on EngineeringSkills.com. 💻 Turn your Jupyter Notebook into a no-code app with VIKTOR Jupyter Notebooks are fantastic - as a tool to develop and communicate your work to other Engineers, they’re second to none. But what about non-technical stakeholders…or even just engineers who don’t use Python? I’ve been exploring VIKTOR, the low-code engineering app development platform. It allows us to turn our code into more user-friendly and easily sharable apps. I can see a lot of value in turning Python codes into web-based apps - so I’ve built a 10-part video tutorial series showing how to convert a truss analysis notebook, powered by OpenSeesPy, into a no-code app. Head over to EngineeringSkills.com to start working through the project. It’s completely free, just register your free EngineeringSkills account to work through the entire project and download the project code.

Engineers need to become more productive! With fewer people studying engineering and many experienced engineers retiring soon, the shortage cannot be resolved by increasing the number of engineers. Learning skills such as programming, and creating automation tools is driving the industry forward. Find out more in this blog: https://lnkd.in/ejSR4Bxu

UCODE24 was amazing! Thank you to everyone who participated with their curiosity, creativity, and motivation to drive change in our industry. 🌟 200 conference attendees  💻 50 digital engineering enthusiasts hacking for 2 days  💪1 big question: How can digital engineers tackle the industry's most pressing challenges using automation and innovative tools? 🎯 Unite the digital engineering community to share knowledge and innovate together   Here’s a throwback to 2 fantastic days! https://lnkd.in/ezJsqHep   To the moon! 🚀🌕

The first tunnel segment of the Fehmarnbelt Tunnel was inaugurated on June 17 and it is a big milestone after four years of construction, and over a decade of planning. We are proud to have contributed to automating the tunnel's design using a VIKTOR app. Ruben Egbers and Kevin van Giessen supported the COWI team (sometimes on-site in Copenhagen) in developing the app. Congratulations to COWI on this achievement! https://lnkd.in/eQffn-af   Read more about the parametric design app: https://lnkd.in/e7D4bTNH #FehmarnbeltTunnel #InfrastructureInnovation #designautomation

Curious what the VIKTOR platform has in store for June? 🌟 Interactive geometry selection: Select parts of a 3D geometry for actions like placing structural elements, applying loads, or adding data 🔧 VIKTOR Labs: Added Hacktor and Excel converter & improvements to the Visual Builder 🚀 Revit Plugin (prototype): Automate exporting and uploading from Revit to VIKTOR   And more...

Exciting to be in Dubai together with Wichert Kooloos and Léonard Bonnet to visit our partners in this area and enjoy the next level projects! Truly amazed by the amount of construction work happening in this area en how fast this area is evolving in the field of engineering. With VIKTOR’s roots beginning in Delft, it is always great to bring some Delfts Blue of Royal Delft - Koninklijke Prorceleyne Fles along with the swag.
