MacSpice 3f5 is an electronic circuit simulator. Circuit simulation is a way of building and testing virtual models of electronic devices. It is usually cheaper and quicker to simulate a design than to build a prototype. MacSpice, like most circuit simulators, requires a text-file description of the circuit as input. This netlist is a list of components and the nodes they connect to. Users may prepare netlists with a text editor, or derive them from a circuit diagram using a third-party schematic-capture application. MacSpice then builds a numerical model of the circuit and analyses
What's New
Version 2.10.29:

Enhancements:

  • Errors and warning messages generated by scripts now attempt to identify the location of the line that caused them.
  • Blocks with missing end statements now generate warning messages.
  • Vectors with one element are no longer automatically converted to scalars.
  • Command line interpreter now evaluates variables of the form ${foo}.
  • Improve 'load' command so that invalid rawfiles are less likely to cause hangs/crashes.
Bugs fixed:
  • Modify behaviour of 'set' command so it creates a string variable in cases like 'set foo = "123 abc"'
  • Fixed a potential crash when expressions like {$foo} are evaluated if more than 1GB of memory is reserved.
  • Fix crash when 'plot' is followed by no arguments and two carriage returns.
  • Fix crash when an 'else' block is empty.
  • Fix crash in gr_pmsg() during iplot runs.

I can download the app, but can anyone tell me why that when I open it, it just opens a page of code?

A huge, huge thanks to Mr. Williams for his continuing work in developing, documenting, improving, and supporting Spice on the Mac.

This is the best program out there for you engineering majors. The alternative--get the emulator VPC 6.0 and a cup of coffee, then wait for your simulations to run.

MacSpice 3f5 is an electronic circuit simulator. Circuit simulation is a way of building and testing virtual models of electronic devices. It is usually cheaper and quicker to simulate a design than to build a prototype. MacSpice, like most circuit simulators, requires a text-file description of the circuit as input. This netlist is a list of components and the nodes they connect to. Users may prepare netlists with a text editor, or derive them from a circuit diagram using a third-party schematic-capture application. MacSpice then builds a numerical model of the circuit and analyses this.

A command interpreter (shell) is used to specify the types of analyses that are required and how the results should be processed, saved or displayed. The high quality of the MacSpice command interpreter makes the automation of tasks straightforward.

MacSpice has native support for both PowerPC and Intel architecture Apple Macintosh computers. It is derived from, and compatible with, Berkeley Spice 3f5. MacSpice incorporates many improvements to Spice 3f5 - from simple bug-fixes to entirely new commands, algorithms and solution strategies. For example: the memory leaks that affected Spice 3f4 have been cured; new algorithms have been developed to facilitate the simulation of large circuits, and to reduce simulation time; MacSpice provides a robust multi-parameter optimizer and facilities for inter-process communication with other applications.
