Here's the ETAP user list:

We need more focus on PLS Cadd:
Here's their cool user list

Plus Digsilent Power factory makes up my top three SW.
Man that's a top analysis chart you did Ionioni. Once a gain a Great Contribution. Thanks; as I was wondering that very question this week and here's a list I was going through to figure out the best SW to brush up on but it's an overwhelming list:

Why does it do it for a comma. I also noticed that the word k i n g d o m is also banned.
Seriously there's some paranoia in some forum platforms. I know that a comma is grammatically powerful; but to fear the comma is taking things a bit far don't you think? A comma isn't a coma. A Coma is a scary thing but a comma isn't.![]()
That's the point to your question about every one wanting all those SW. Even remembering how to use excel is a brain tease when you haven't used it for a while; so how does every one work out how to use all those SW they all want so bad??? And why don't they ask for tutorials or user manuals?
Hmmmmm....... how many users are there really and how many collectors and re-sellers? I'm still using MS office 97. Works fine on my windows 95. Who needs more I ask?
So Excel does colour now? Wow.
Egpet should be called Iranpet as that's where most of the contribution is coming from I thinks. (Iran has always had the best forums; even I know that and I'm not from an Arabic Nation) ETAP is popular because it was promoted as being able to be used by any one with no prior electrical or engineering knowledge and from what I've seen it's pretty well true. It has dumbed down consultancies completely and those users that operate it have no idea of the theory behind it or why or how it works and that's what ETAP was designed to be for; so the real engineers with the real knowledge can be working elsewhere on other parts of the project that require their full comprehension. ETAP also has so many integrated modules and that's why PSCAD and PSS-Sincal have withered away. ETAP is Digsilent PF for dummies; but you pay for that usability in its price. None the less ETAP is one super smart program even if its users aren't.
I love going through the old 1940's; 50's; 60's and 70's pre-computer engineering designs; back when engineers really had to know what they were doing and when they worked out the calculations with their trusty slide rule. They had to understand every concept and worked often from first principles. Now we think we're so smart with our smart SW but the reality is the SW is smart and not us. No matter how smart we are we can't match the SW speed; iterations and accuracy. So AI wins. (I do love those iterations though) We instead become facilitators and not Engineers. At best we've become technicians.
I know Surveyors who walked away from the profession because in minutes a drone* with radar GPS and SW can do the calculations and triangulation that would have taken a surveyor years to do. Surveyors have become obsolete. Engineers are next.

The answer to the riddle is Daughter I assume.

That chart must prove this forum isn't dominated by re-sellers; it's dominated by engineers of sorts. Why? Because there is no way re-sellers could get the ratio so perfectly right as that pie chart shows. The Pie chart is significant proof !!! Egpet has a future !!!
Also the demand from re-sellers has decreased over time since the "need" was filled by previous versions and now people just "want" the latest versions.
Great work Ionioni !!!
Yet again Great work indeed from Iononi.
