Circuit Design/Simulation Software Recomendations
Circuit Design/Simulation Software Recomendations
(OP)
I am looking into some circuit design/simulation software.
I am looking at Multisim and Spice. Are there others out there that are popular?
Any recommendations?
Thanks,
Steve

I currently have the book version of multisim. It is extremely limited in it's functionality. So I am thinking about purchasing it. But I want something that is also popular in the industry. Like it was noted with price also comes quality and performance. I maybe able to justify it here at work and get them to foot the bill!

It is not worth buying a SPICE simulator since you can get the demo version free and it is better than some you could buy.

Many silly simulated instruments and poor
simulation stability
Check out Intusoft for a good simulator.

The lite version limits the number of components in your circuit (25 I believe), but otherwise it is fairly easy to use. And it is free!

As mentioned by other posters, I would say go for Simetrix. We started about three years ago with the free demo and then quickly bought the whole package. We can't do without it now! (Probably time we got a later version though)
It's really easy to use, and for any components that don't come with the standard demo library you can usually download the SPICE models from the web.
One final note: Simetrix is now marketed by Catena software and the link if you want to download a free version is
www.catena.uk.com

I am going download the demo of Simetrix and go from there.
Thanks to all.
