NL5 Circuit Simulator

[nl51]

I'm wondering why I did not post here about NL5 simulator a year ago, when it was officially released. However it's not too late, so here it is.
In a few words, NL5 is not SPICE-based, that's why it can do some things that SPICE simulators can not (including free LTSpice). It works reliably with true ideal components, and has some really useful and unique features. Good for students, as well as professionals. No more words, just try it.

Free Demo (no license required, just download and use) is full-fucnctional, with 20 components limit. Students may get 1-year free trial license: simply mention your Institution in the Trial license request.

Any problems - I can help.

Thanks,
Alexei.

Very interesting simulator. I havent got time to test its quality/reliability yet but looking at the components' properties I see this being a great tool to test funtional units or systems. It is not a subsitute for SPICE though.

It's college time again, so just a reminder for students: you can get 1 year free license here. Don't forget to indicate your school/department.

Thanks,
Alexei.

i am in Software engineering department but no Linux support... 

 

[nl51]

Why not? Works fine under Wine.

Running under WINE is not Linux support.

I can run MS Word viewer under WINE but MS don't suppor Linux, unless it's as a guest operating system under MS Virtual PC.

NL5 is intended to simulate electronic circuits, and it does it well, both on Windows and Linux. What else do you need? What "Linux support" are you talking about?

When one buys a program, more often than not, they don't only buy the software but a support package i.e. updates and technical support. I wonder how far you'd get if you called the helpline about a problem caused by installing a certain update and you tell them you're using Ubuntu when they ask you what operating system you're using.  :

Oh, I see what you mean.

That's right, I do not provide "support" neither for Linux nor Windows installation, and in fact you won't need it. NL5 is just one file, nl5.exe. There are no dlls hidden in system directories or anywhere else. What you need is copy nl5.exe on hard drive, or even run it from any media, like flash drive or network. For updates or new versions simply replace nl5.exe with a new one.
For Wine, you have to know how to run windows applications there. I can't help with that, I'm not using Linux, sorry!

As for technical support, if Manual or Help reference does not help, you can use NL5 forum, submit question at nl5 website contact page, or better drop email at [email protected]. You can call 970-414-0515 as well: this is Sidelinesoft "official" phone, but it's not always available.

OK,
I DO NOT support Linux, I DO NOT support Windows, I support NL5.
Sounds better?

Back to Linux: It happened that there are some problems with NL5 HTTP server functioning (see NL5 forum for details), otherwise I'm not aware of other problems...

Currently offering APEC-2011 special discounts and drawing of NL5 Single PC License. Good luck!

Its will Definetly Run under WINE.

All you have to do Just Copy the whole setup into root and then try to run it.
