Anyone here know any good Circuit Analysis / Solver / Analyser programs? (1 Viewer)

Hi,

I really need this for my course. i dont need a mega complex one, but just one that can calculate current and voltages between nodes in a circuit.

 

[fatmuscle]

what type of circuit?

Our uni textbooks come with a free copy of a computer program that can analyze currents. I forget what the programs called though.

electronic workbench version 5

version 7 is too big :s

BUT you really should learn PSpice

Rather than using programs, you should be able to do them by hand before using something like PSpice.

mate,

its called to check your answers when the tutors dont give you answers

why the fuck else would i go looking for a Program

Because unfortunately, the effort you'll have to put into learning and using something as "basic" as PSpice might be worth it. In my opinion you would be better off emailing your tutor asking for a correction if you're wrong or attending a consultation. These programs aren't flawless, the last time I looked PSpice doesn't have a built in component for ideal transformers, and you have to fudge one up yourself.

If you are dealing with state equations, Laplace transforms, system stability, or other things you can get away with using MATLAB for other matrix algebra programs instead. They would be more common and easier to get a hold of too.

nah, for first year, EWB is good for checking answers most times
