#1 circuit simulator

Post by ed »

has anybody played with this before....it's mega fun, kind of spice for dummies:

http://www.falstad.com/circuit/

it reminds me of an old sim called electronic workbench that used to design digi circuits...

yet another reason to lose parts of your life sitting in front of a screen :)

I wish I'd had access to that when I was studying for City & Guilds Part III but back in '87 I'd never even touched a computer. Twas all books and biros.

Back in about 1979 when I was in the middle of doing my EE degree, Soton Uni had an electronics network simulator written in FORTRAN IV level G on a Modcomp Max IV (rev D) - I worked on it for a year - entered the netlist as a card deck, got the results as a printed time series for each node.

We had a competition to think up a suitable name for it - the winner was:

"SUICIDES" - Southampton University Interactive Computer Integrated Design Engineering System

Never caught on...
