In summary, the best software for circuit simulation and analysis varies depending on individual needs and preferences, but some popular options include HSPICE, MicroCAP, TINA, and National Instruments. Many circuit simulation software packages are based on the SPICE core, such as Ansoft/HFSS and Ansoft Designer SVc, which offers a free student version for download.

Welcome to the PF. There are a number of SPICE packages available. Which one you use depends a bit on what you will use it for. HSPICE is the gold standard, but is not generally as easy to use as the more integrated packages like MicroCAP. Here is a thread where we talked about some different packages:

TINA from TI and the National Instruments package are both SPICE-based. Pretty much all circuit simulation software is based on a SPICE core.
What are you trying to do? What kind of circuits do you want to simulate? Why do you not want to use software that is based on SPICE? Do you hate Berkeley or something?

My Electrical Eng. department works almost exclusively with Ansoft/HFSS for simulations.
You can download a free student version of Ansoft designer, Ansoft Designer SV

1. What factors should I consider when looking for circuit simulation software?
When searching for the best software for circuit simulation and analysis, it is important to consider factors such as accuracy, user-friendliness, compatibility with different operating systems, available features and tools, and cost. You should also look for software that has a good reputation and is widely used in the industry.
2. Can I use circuit simulation software for both analog and digital circuits?
Yes, there are many circuit simulation software programs that are capable of simulating both analog and digital circuits. However, it is important to check the specific features and capabilities of the software to ensure it meets your needs for the type of circuits you will be working with.
3. How important is the user interface in circuit simulation software?
The user interface plays a crucial role in circuit simulation software, as it determines how easy and efficient it is to use. A user-friendly interface can save time and improve productivity, while a complex or confusing interface can hinder the simulation process. It is important to choose software with an intuitive and well-designed interface.
4. Are there any free circuit simulation software options available?
Yes, there are some free circuit simulation software programs available online. However, they may have limited features and capabilities compared to paid software. It is important to carefully research and evaluate the free software to ensure it meets your needs and is reliable.
5. How can I determine the accuracy of circuit simulation software?
The accuracy of circuit simulation software can be determined by comparing the simulated results with real-world measurements or by checking the software's accuracy specifications. It is also helpful to read reviews and feedback from other users to get an idea of the software's accuracy and reliability.
