Good open source circuit simulation software?
alxptt:
For those of us who prefer to use open source, what's the best simulators I can expect to find? And also, what feature sets should I expect them to be missing compared to the 'standard' simulators?
On a side note, I am also wondering if there are many other simulators that actually show charges flowing in the circuit. The simulator at falstad.com/circuit is a great example of this. You can see everything happening in real time. Although it's not a requirement for me, this sort of feature is really helpful for wrapping my head around a new design principle!

What do you need to simulate? Analogue? Digital? RF? Thermal? Multiphysics? ...

Just analogue circuits! No need for any of that other stuff -- although RF may come in handy later on. :) It's not a requirement, though.

I like QUCS, but I haven't really done anything too challenging with it.
