I found a torrent of this program and I've been playing with it lately. I like it a lot more than LTSPICE; It's very easy to use and it has a much better GUI. It's kind of like yenka but eith better parts, better tools, better everything. You can make your own parts too, I think it's built on x-spice.

I recommend taking a look at it.

I have never been smart enough to figure out how to use any of the spice, pspice or any of them, but Ive been using multisim since before it was called multisim, I actually started out using Electronics Workbench in junior year of HS 1998! I like the GUI so much better then the spice stuff.

Im glad to see you found it to your liking, Grenidier. I would have told you sooner to try it, if I had known.

I just found the 'big version'. This one has every part I could possibly need. :D

Remember the power IGBT and Mosfet library was wrong for some versions.

Additionally, one must turn off "Ideal simulation" to get somewhat accurate analog simulation.

Ultiboard actually was pretty good at auto-placement, but not as good as Protel/Altium for board design.

I've been using multisim for a long time now.
And although it's a great program to test some circuits, a lot of circuits don't simulate well (mostly analog).
But never the less I still like the program together with ultiboard to design my circuits, and so far the programs have allowed me to create everything I've ever wanted to do.

You should check out "Circuit design suite 10"!! It is Multisim and Utiliboard!
It allows you do design your schematic in multisim and then export it right to utiliboard.
What you end up with is a finished computer generated pcb that you can look at in 3d! Theres quite a bit
of extras as well that are not in multisim. I have been recommending multisim since version 7. The more
you play with it the easier it becomes to design and simulate. Always ground the circuit or it wont work.
Also, look around for the digikey database, its every component digikey sells, if you were to use the database,
in the end, it would generate your bill of materials. Of which, would be your order from digikey. One stop shopping!!

That's what I'm using. I'm going to have to DL the digikey database.

Is the Database just for package outlines? Or does it include the simulator code for each device?

Did you get the torrent from TPB? If so, how do you run this thing? There are 20 files plus an nfo file. I figured you would extract them to a folder, but that did not work.

God i hate zipped files -_-
