Schematic Capture/ Simulation EDA package
Schematic Capture/ Simulation EDA package
(OP)
I use a very old version of ViewLogic EDA package for schematic capture and simulation. Since ViewLogic does not exist anymore, it is not possible to get any updates.. I would like to look in to OrCAD, Electronic Workbench or some other EDA package, possibly under $5K. Does anyone have any recommendations? Also, is there any source for buying a slightly older versions of these EDA packages to save some money?

The OrCADs, PADS and others have become quite expensive over the years.
Take a look at Pulsonix. I don't know if anyone in the forum has experienced it, but it looks almost too good to be true. It can import and export to lots of other formats too. There's a trial version available.

Else, if on a budget or hobbyist, I'd suggest Eagle by Cadware

but its schematic capture is a little weak.
If you really want to simulate circuits accurately
I vote for Intusoft.
I have tried Electronics Workbench and I do not like it.
It captures the schematic better but the simulation
is not that good.
Using simulated Agilent instrument is a silly idea
for those who cannot use serious simulation packages.
