Evaluation Version of AIM SpiceHere is a free version of SPICE that you might like better than PSpice. The evaluation version lets you have 20 active devices (PSpice only allows 10) and 50 nodes in a circuit. The program makes better use of the graphics features of Windows. For example, you can copy plots to the clipboard as metafiles, whereas PSpice only lets you make bitmaps of plots (if you can figure out how to do it). With the graphics post processor, you can scale the plots with the mouse, control the labeling and gridlines, change the axis labels, etc., things that cannot be done with PSpice. What PSpice calls the OUT file, Aim Spice calls the LOG file. You can download the free evaluation version of AIM Spice here.
