Sims
I general they're all bull**** and useless... but someone has to make money with something huh?
LTSpice is free from Linear website (http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/index.jsp ). I used it few times already just for fun and evaluation. This is the only one i would trust if i don't have ANY parts on hand. MultiSim has to be good though.
If one day i find a real good Sim i would probably use it, 'till now... none has impressed me. Maybe good enough for education purpose or for proof of concept... but even simple stuff doesn't seems to work.
I always have the same test since day one, which i keep secret... ALL sim failed on. If one day one sim don't fail on, maybe i could says it's somehow useful. Why spend few thousands buck on something that doesn't work while you could have real results with real parts at fraction of the price?
The only useful one that cover almost everything is Proteus... but it's still useless... fun to play with instead of of a Wii or Nintendo
I know once again, i will make 'friends' and e-mail breeze with this comment...
