PSPICE to Multisim Tutorial: Placing Resistors and Capacitors Opening the Software For this tutorial, you will require the Multisim environment. If this is the first time you are using Multisim, then you will quickly see that it is similarly a schematic capture and simulation environment, however, what are traditionally multistep or difficult processes have been simplified to make simulation easier.
This tutorial can help anyone quickly learn how to use Multisim regardless of experience with other simulation products. This tutorial describes how you accomplished a task in PSPICE, and then provides you the same easy step in Multisim. This tutorial is for Multisim users who have previously used PSPICE, and are looking for an easy step-by-step guide on how to create and simulate a circuit in Multisim. SPICE can simulate DC operating point, AC response, transient response, and other useful simulations. The netlist describes the components in the circuit and how they are connected. SPICE defines a circuit in the form of a netlist and uses parameters to emulate circuit behavior. Throughout the past 50 years various companies have developed a number of different variants of SPICE, including HSPICE and PSPICE. SPICE (Simulation Program with Integrated Circuits Emphasis) is an analog circuit simulator developed at the University of California, Berkeley as a part of the CANCER (Computer Analysis of Nonlinear Circuits, Excluding Radiation) program.
