What's new in VIKTOR (March 2026)

Chat with your app

You can now easily add an AI chat to your apps. With the new built-in Large Language Model (LLM), you can add a chat field that lets users talk to the app and ask it to perform tasks.

For example, you can ask the app to explain results, analyze outputs, or extract insights from engineering data directly inside the interface. This opens up many possibilities to build more intuitive engineering apps that help you work faster and get more value.

In this tutorial, you’ll find practical examples showing how to use AI chat inside your apps, or visit the documentation to learn more.

Save data in App Builder apps

Until now, apps built with the App Builder couldn’t store intermediate results while you were working in the app. This meant certain inputs or results had to be recalculated repeatedly, and some interaction patterns were difficult to implement.

Now, App Builder apps can temporarily store data during a session. This means you can save results, inputs, or files in one step and reuse them in another step without running the same calculations again. The stored data is automatically cleared once you leave the app.

Visit the documentation to learn more.

Connect more easily to other software

Connecting your app to engineering software like ETABS, SAP2000, Revit, or PLAXIS requires a worker that runs locally or on a server. Until now, setting this up could be confusing, because you had to figure which worker you needed and how to connect it.

Instead, you can now explicitly define in your code that your app requires a worker. After this, you are automatically guided through the setup process with prompts and a clearer status dialog to connect the correct it.

Delete apps from the App Store

You can now remove apps from the App Store individually or in bulk, making it easier to keep your environment clean.

Projects now require an owner

To reduce admin overhead and improve access management, projects must now have at least one assigned owner at creation.

More app usage insights for admins

Admins can now filter activity by apps (instead of workspaces), giving clearer insight into how apps are used across projects and test environments. More information about the activity dashboard can be found here.

Community spotlight: Beam Documentation Generator

What if generating Eurocode 2 beam documentation only took a few seconds? Patricio Pozo T. built this app that turns beam inputs into a full EC2 design overview. Instead of juggling spreadsheets, you get instant visual feedback and a structured design summary.

Try the app!
