Which would you invest in.
thedoc298:
Which of the two programs LTspice or Multisum would you choose to invest your learning in. I would like to start to learn one or the other and the learning curve does not matter. I have played with both lightly but not enough to make a sound decision. Thans for any input.

LTspice is free and useful. Start there, and don't buy anything else unless you really need to.

Every power device manufacturer provides their model in LTSpice format (which will also work for other SPICE3F5-based simulators, but are most likely developed and tuned on LTSpice for LTSpice users).
But I have to say, it's not a beautiful software, and it certainly doesn't have the luxury of MultuSim when it comes to UI, learning curve and support.

I have just retired and like to play. I was field service for Glass Industry. Glass machine software and controls. Also tv repair at the end of tubes and the beginning of the solid state era. Thanks for input.
Gyro:
The other offering you might want to have a play with is Tina-TI, also Spice based, which is given away free by TI (their alternative to LT's LTSpice). It's maybe a little less featured than LTSpice but some people find it a bit more intuitive and easier to drive, ymmv. With all the company acquisitions, I'm not sure which one has the most comprehensive parts library these days.
Either of those two should be more than adequate for your needs. Having just retired, the only investment involved is your time.
