NI releases Multisim version 11
3 February 2010
Design Automation
National Instruments has introduced Multisim 11, the latest version of its circuit simulation software, with specialised editions for both hands-on learning and professional circuit design. The easy-to-use software delivers a graphical approach that abstracts the complexities of traditional circuit simulation, helping educators, students and engineers employ advanced circuit analysis technology.
The academic edition of Multisim 11 incorporates specialised teaching features and is complemented by circuits textbooks and courseware. This integrated system helps educators engage students and reinforce circuit theory with an interactive, hands-on approach to investigating circuit behaviour. Widely implemented throughout academia, technical colleges and universities choose Multisim for its interactive components, simulation-driven instruments and integration to real-world analog and digital measurements.
Multisim 11 Professional helps engineers optimise circuit designs, minimise errors and reduce prototype iterations. When combined with the new NI Ultiboard 11 layout and routing software, Multisim provides engineers a cost-effective, end-to-end prototyping platform. Its integration with NI LabVIEW measurement software also helps engineers define custom analyses to improve design validation. This version enables better simulation with SPICE parser improvements, updated BSIM models, support for advanced parameters and enhanced digital simulation accuracy. Design communication is improved with on-page connectors and a new WYSIWYG net naming system.
