FET 5.2.6

FET is an open source timetabling application for schools, high-schools and some universities.
Main features:
- FET is free software (open source). You can freely use, copy, modify and re-distribute it, as GNU/GPL permits (but please consider a donation)
- Localized to English, French, Catalan, Romanian, Malay, Polish, Turkish, Dutch, German, Hungarian and Macedonian (maybe incompletely)
- Fully automatic generation algorithm, allowing also semi-automatic or manual allocation
- Platform independent implementation, allowing running on GNU/Linux, Windows and any system that Qt supports
- Powerful flexible modular xml format for the input file, allowing editing with an xml editor or by hand (besides FET)
- Possibility to view the currently generated timetable without stopping the ongoing simulation
- The resulted timetables are exported into xml and html formats
- Very flexible students (pupils) structure, in years, groups and subgroups. FET allows overlapping years and groups and non-overlapping subgroups
- Possibility to consider a weight (percentage) for each constraint
- Maximum total number of hours (periods) per day: 30
- Maximum number of working days per week: 14
- Maximum total number of teachers: 700
- Maximum total number of subgroups (sets) of students: 5000
- Maximum total number of subjects: 1000
- Virtually unlimited number of subject tags
- Maximum number of activities: 2000 (you can compile or ask the author a version with more activities allowed)
- Maximum number of rooms: 300
- Maximum number of buildings: 100
- Maximum number of equipments: 300
- Adjustable duration for each activity (each activity can have duration of 1 hour, 2 hours, 3 hours or more)

- Maximum number of time constraints: 3000
- Maximum number of space constraints: 3000
A large and flexible palette of time constraints:
- Constraint activities preferred times (you can specify a set of activities by teacher, subject, subject tag or students and a set of preferred or allowed periods).
- Constraint activities same starting hour
- Constraint activities same starting time
- Constraint activities not overlapping
- Constraint activity preferred time (to specify for an activity a preferred day, hour or both)
- Constraint activity preferred times
- Constraint basic compulsory time
- Constraint break
- Constraint min n days between activities (to allow balancing the activities in a week)
- Constraint students early (to make the students begin as early as possible the activities)
- Constraint students set early (to make the students set begin as early as possible the activities)
- Constraint students no gaps
- Constraint students set no gaps
- Constraint students (set) max hours daily
- Constraint teacher(s) max hours daily
- Constraint students set not available
- Constraint teacher max days per week
- Constraint teacher not available
- Constraint teachers max gaps per week
A large and flexible palette of space constraints:
- Constraint activity preferred room
