AI Thread Summary
The discussion highlights concerns over the discontinuation of the student version of PSpice and its implications for academia. Users suggest that textbooks may still provide access to the software, or that departments might offer it for download, although licensing details are unclear. Alternatives like LTSpice and gEDA are recommended for those considering a switch to different analog circuit simulators. Participants express satisfaction with LTSpice, noting its effectiveness for circuit simulation. The conversation reflects a need for viable options as students and educators adapt to the changes in software availability.

What will academia do?

(well, you can still request a CD, i guess)
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
Yup, its unfortunate. But the link here seems active:

If you use PSpice for your courses, then the textbook should come with the student version of the software. Or maybe your department offers it as a download or something (not sure what the licensing restrictions are).

If you plan on switching analog circuit simulators, give LTSpice/SwitcherCAD III a try:

We've always used gEDA for making schematics and layouts, but I didn't know until now, that they also offered simulators!

This is what we've been using recently, and we're pretty happy with it so far.
 
Have you tried the Pspice torrent version ;)?
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
