Description

CircuitSim is a comprehensive SPICE circuit simulation tool featuring a library of over 3,000 components and a contemporary schematic editor, all accessible online for free without the need for installation. Designed for use by students, educators, and professionals alike, it operates directly in a web browser, making it compatible with Chromebooks and secured school laptops without requiring administrative access. Users can perform seven types of analyses, including interactive and transient analyses, with results displayed on oscilloscope-style graphs and the ability to place probes at any point in the circuit. Additionally, users can create custom components from SPICE model text or import symbols from KiCad, enriching the simulation experience. CircuitSim also supports the import of Multisim Live designs before its scheduled retirement on September 15, 2026, making it a unique browser-based solution that can handle .csim, .ms14, and .msjs files, preserving wiring, component placement, net labels, probes, and simulation configurations. Furthermore, classroom licensing options are available, providing features such as seat assignments, anonymous student seating, and private student project spaces to enhance the educational experience. This ensures that educators can effectively manage their classroom environments while leveraging advanced simulation tools.

Description

Synopsys OptSim stands out as a highly acclaimed simulator for photonic integrated circuits (PICs) and fiber-optic systems, empowering engineers to effectively design and refine photonic circuits and associated systems. With its cutting-edge algorithms for both time and frequency domains, it provides a dedicated photonic environment that ensures precise simulation results. OptSim can operate independently, complete with its own graphical user interface, or be integrated within the OptoCompiler Photonic IC design platform for enhanced functionality. When combined with OptoCompiler, it allows for electro-optic co-simulation alongside Synopsys PrimeSim HSPICE and PrimeSim SPICE electrical circuit simulators, offering a seamless experience with the PrimeWave Design Environment that facilitates advanced simulations, analyses, and visualizations, including parametric scans and Monte Carlo methods. Additionally, the software is equipped with a comprehensive array of libraries containing photonic and electronic components, as well as various analysis tools, and is compatible with a wide range of foundry process design kits (PDKs), making it an invaluable resource for engineers in the field. Its versatility and depth of features make Synopsys OptSim a crucial tool for anyone involved in photonic design.
