Projects imported from other electrical CAE systems carry information the model cannot hold, so an importer has to guess, flatten or drop it. The drawing can look right while the netlist, wiring list or bill of materials is wrong. Two wires that only touch become connected because connectivity comes from geometry. Terminal material gets multiplied by strip positions when the source gave a literal quantity. PLC channels spread over several sheets get counted several times.
Recurring agent failure issue in OpenECraft (nilres)
What engineers report
A recurring agent failure problem in OpenECraft (nilres) that mostly hits the electrical engineer.
Failure pattern: validation / geometry
Analyst note
From the Grok pain-radar digests, Nov 9-10 2026 (Nov 9 7:41 AM ET through Nov 10 7:41 AM ET digests plus the Haitch editions). Verified live 2026-11-10: issue/PR read; title and state confirmed.
What it costs a team
Modeled annual cost
$30,000
For a team of 5
Prototype delay
3 days
Modeled schedule slip per occurrence
Time lost
240 min
Per engineer per month, about 1 incidents
How the cost is modeled
240 min/month × 5 engineers × 12 months = 240 hours × $125/hour = $30,000
A modeled estimate with medium confidence. Swap in your own team size and loaded rate to size it for your team.
