Which Electrical Circuit Simulator is Recommended for New EE Students?

AI Thread Summary
LTSpice and Multisim are highly recommended circuit simulation software for new electrical engineering students, with Multisim noted for its user-friendly interface despite some limitations in components. Livewire is also mentioned, but QUCS (Quite Universal Circuit Simulator) is suggested as a versatile alternative. Users appreciate the features and capabilities of these simulators for educational purposes. Overall, LTSpice and Multisim stand out as top choices for beginners in electrical engineering.

Hey!
Are there any good softwares for PC that can simulate electrical circuits that you can recommend?

hi there rectifier

welcome to PF :smile:

LT Spice is a pretty good one and commonly used

cheers
Dave
 
multisim is also very good and user friendly, has it's disadvantages (component wise) but overall recommended
 
I use livewire but I've seen multisim has a lot more stuff
 
would now recommend QUCS (quite universal circuit simulator)

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...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

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...
