Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around finding a functional version of PSPice software for electronic simulations. Participants share their experiences with different versions and seek recommendations for reliable alternatives.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory, Technical explanation, Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant reports issues with a special edition of PSPice that came with an electronics book and a downloaded student version, expressing difficulty in creating simulation profiles and running simulations.
  • Another participant suggests that the problems may stem from the user's approach to the software, indicating that the versions mentioned should have functioned correctly.
  • A third participant inquires about the cost and licensing of an alternative software, LTspice, questioning whether it is free or if it has any limitations.
  • A later reply asserts that LTspice is freeware, implying that it should not have any cost associated with it.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants do not reach a consensus on the functionality of the PSPice versions discussed, and there is uncertainty regarding the usability of LTspice, although one participant believes it to be freeware.

Contextual Notes

Limitations include potential misunderstandings of software functionality and user experience with different versions of PSPice and LTspice.

I tried a special edition that came with an electronics book and it had lots of problems. Then I downloaded a 9.1 student version that I found online but when I try to open a new sim profile it doesn't allow me to put any name I want or import. And the Capture Student version that I have doesn't have any option to run a simulation (I've looked everywhere).

I am a bit new to simulations so it's possible that I'm doing something wrong, but in case I am not could anyone give me a page that has a PSPice version that you KNOW works just fine?

There may be something wrong with how you're trying to use the ones you've already listed, as they should have worked ok.

Anyway, if you want to try another option then give this one a go. LTspice: http://www.linear.com/designtools/software/
 
hey, is the software pointed to by the link free? as in gratis? zero dollars? is it freeware? or is it going to stop working soon enough?
 
I'm pretty sure it's freeware gsal. :smile:
