Also it may show price-data which may change at a whim. If you want to buy from Digi-Key or Small Bear, you will have to look-up their part-numbers, *and* if you have done a Layout you must compare sizes and lead-space to either pick parts fit or to hand-fix the layout for the parts you will use.ĭespite that *monster* download (my first sim ran on a floppy disk), it can't have every part Mouser sells today and next month. Obviously the Parts List will feature Mouser part numbers, with a way to upload it and bing-boom UPS drops the box at your door. few big sims directly support bottles but some can build tube models if Blue's modeler is very lamed this may be difficult.) (I can see that Vacuum Tube users may be stymied. Since Mouser sells *almost* everything, this is not any huge problem. Since this 'free' software is sponsored by Mouser, I bet priority goes to parts that Mouser sells (that's where they get their vigorish). For free, you get a user-user forum, which may be excellent or a barren wasteland.įor $4000/year you get a Library with nearly every part you might want, and modeling tools so you can ad-hoc any strange parts. The guy you call *knows* that if you are not happy with the Support, next year you will take your $4000 to Sim-X Sim-Y or Sim-Z, and he will be out of a job.

However I suspect it is totally free with limitations which would bother commercial users, but may be tolerable to small-stuff workers.įor $4000/year you get a number to call for Support. I have not read any fine-print nor run the software. > It says free download that doesn't always mean it's free to use.

Maybe this one is better? If not I still have Altium :P I love the professional version of MultiSim, but the PCB design software that comes with it, Ultiboard, is about the least friendly layout software I've ever used. I'll post other thoughts after using it for a while.

Started 'NI MultiSIM Component Evaluator 13.0 Mouser Electronics Edition' and got this :

The installer asked to connect to a server to check for updates or notifications for the software. The installation file is quite big (773 Mb) which blows up to 956 Mb when decompressed. DIY Stompboxes > Building your own stompbox
