Hi @fabrice,

Nice project! And the LibrePCB parser is indeed very short and simple 🙂

It’s great to see some simulation approaches becoming available for LibrePCB. Generally I’d also like to integrate simulation into LibrePCB some day, but due to limited resources and higher priority tasks, this won’t happen in the near future. So it’s good to already have the possibility of using external tools to simulate LibrePCB circuits.

See also [Simulation in LibrePCB](https://librepcb.discourse.group/t/simulation-in-librepcb/224).

Just let me know if you have any questions or ideas how we could help.

Do you actually already have some quickstart guide how to use PySpice for LibrePCB projects? I mean, what do I need to know to make the circuit usable by PySpice (you mentioned custom attributes)? In the end, it might be nice to publish a quick tutorial on [docs.librepcb.org](http://docs.librepcb.org), since from time to time users are asking for simulation.
