how about Qelectrotech.org ? French by nature :-)
how could they improve to get the KiCad simulation functionality?
BIMeta has now some basic ifc for electrical installations.
It is going forward.
Nice software. It requires some practice, but for simple tasks/diagrams it can replace programas like EPLAN or ELCAD (BIM like electrical boards/panels construction software). It would deserve a place in the directory.

Qelectrotech is focused in electrical/automation drawings for panel construction, so I don't think that it needs any simulation functionality IMHO (very different tasks).
Much easier simulation of wiring sizes and potential drops over their length.. the things DDS-CAD can do, or the Siemens-tools. (Short circuit currents..)
Even when logged-in, I am not allowed to do anything on the wiki :-)
Would be listed in ? CAD ? it is more than 'schematic design', in fact it is 'Documentation'.
It has everything to professionally document electrical installations. Symbols, Wiring even Automation. Delivers clean pdf-outputs or vector graphics. DXF exports is aimed.
Since the integration of a Database, it gives out BOMs (Bill-of-Materials) .
With adapted symbols (self created or from some templates) it is also usefull for Heating/Plumbing schemes.
list of examples of Schemes : https://download.tuxfamily.org/qet/schemas_pdf/
Development team is limited. The steering is in some hands only.
LPGL-2
Wiki available, but french (auto-translation?). The Forum is more or less activ.
Missing is a connection to BIM (via Bimeta (ifc symbol/appliances) for instance via some graphML extension for spatial information), and some calculation abilities.
For now it is a pure but powerfull schematic design documentation tool.

I think It woul be fine to create a sub category in CAD for "Technical Documentation".
need to be wiki-admin to upload the icon or other files... !
please add those two to my new qelectrotech description in the software directory :-)
thanks

Could someone please add this project to the Software Directory? I'm happy to help

@lukas what's your timezone? CET? I'd love to help you get started with the wiki.
yes, germany
