[Simulation in Linux?]

Hi,

I am going to test two schematic/simulator under linux:

Oregano: http://arrakis.gforge.lug.fi.uba.ar/

Qucs: http://qucs.sourceforge.net/

They are both free and open source.

Regards,

Hi Alun,

I use Kicad for the schematic and for the PCB.

I use gspiceui for the simulation and viewing the simulation.

You can test Kicad under linux or windows. Under windows I think you can use pspsice for the simulation as Kicad can generate a spice file.

Best regards,

[Simulation in Linux?]

Hi,

I don't want to discuss about windows versus linux. I use the both in my job and linux at home.

For electronic design under Linux I use a capture, PCB software call Kicad (also works under windows)

Designed and written by Jean-Pierre Charras, a researcher at LIS (Laboratoire des Images et des Signaux) and a teacher in  IUT  de Saint Martin d'Hères.(France), in the field of electrical engineering and image processing.

Kicad is a set of four softwares and a project manager:

    * Eeschema: Schematic entry.
    * Pcbnew: Board editor.
    * Gerbview: GERBER viewer (photoplotter documents).
    * Cvpcb: footprint selector for components used in the circuit design.
    * Kicad: project manager.

For the simulation Kicad can generate a netlist for spice softwares. I use gspiceui with ngspice an gnucap.

Best regards,
