Experimenting eSim- A tool for Electronic Circuit Simulation
I did not have much exposure to open source Electronic Design Automation tools during my graduation course in Electronics and Communication Engineering. My institute had proprietary EDA tools in the lab and all my experiences were limited to them. I must confess I never tried to explore the FOSS world for alternatives until I was in a need to offer a lab course on basic circuit simulation. Web searches took me to the design suite eSim . It is an open source EDA tool for circuit design, simulation, analysis and PCB design. It is an integrated tool built using open source software such as KiCad and Ngspice. eSim is released under GPL. It’s GUI guides the user through the steps of schematic creation, netlist generation, PCB design and simulation. eSim source code iis hosted at: https://github.com/FOSSEE/eSim . ...
