The environmental contour method is used by researchers and practitioners to define multivariate extremes of environmental conditions. These extreme conditions are then used to design or analyze marine structures. Here, we present a software called ViroCon, which implements different environmental contour methods. ViroCon is separated into two packages. One package is dedicated to the statistical computations and one package holds an easy-to-use graphical user interface. We expect that ViroCon will help researchers working on marine structures to better pursuit research questions concerning structural reliability by providing an easy-to-use and extendable software to compute extreme environmental conditions.
