National Instruments Multisim

National Instruments developed Multisim as an industry-standard circuits training and SPICE simulation environment for designing, prototyping, and testing electronic schematic designs. This teaching tool builds expertise in all areas of electronic circuit education through practical application of concepts and methods learned in the classroom. NI Multisim has incorporated the layout software NI Ultiboard into its suite of learning tools. Multisim exports and imports schematics of the printed circuit board into and from Ultiboard, which offers a three-dimensional view of the PCB layout to students before it's exported. Students achieve their learning objectives with PCBs earlier in the process when they combine intuitive analysis and visualization with an electronic circuit simulation. Versions 9.0 and 10.x of Multisim are compatible with Windows XP while newer editions work fine with Windows 7 and Vista. Because it operates in a 3D environment, the software needs an OpenGL-capable graphics card.
