SIMetrix SPICE has a very good reputation, it comes with the Pulsonix
software I use.

Which is the best sofware for electronic simulation?
Many here use the free LTspice simulator. It has a great user
interface and the support is unusually good. It's primary purpose is
for board level work, allowing Linear Technology customers to easily
simulate circuits with Linear Technology devices, though the author's
intention clearly is beyond this.
ldg said:This is really a large question. There are many analog and digital
simulators, each optimized for a specific market segment.
Many of these simulators have been created by combining Berkeley
spice and a digital simulator called Xspice that was created by
Georgia Tech http://users.ece.gatech.edu/~mrichard/Xspice/
Saber is sort of in a class by itself in that it can easily simulate
physical as well as electrical/electronic devices.

It can, for instance, simulate entire car systems where a mechanical
device operates a sensor, which then is processed by electronics, then
drives a mechanical actuator. It would also be great for modeling
MEMs devices since both the physical device and interface circuits can
be modeled at once. It also does mixed mode. New models are easily
made using its MAST programming language. Since both Saber and Hspice
were owned by Avant!, the actual hspice models have been ported to it,
making it even more acceptable for low level IC design. I used this
program years ago to design IR focal planes. This is a great
simulator, but expensive.
I'm not a user of pure digital simulators, but I'm sure others in this
group are knowledgeable in this area.

and the support is unusually good.

for board level work, allowing Linear Technology customers to easily
simulate circuits with Linear Technology devices, though the author's
intention clearly is beyond this. The user interface is so good I've
often wished it would front-end for other simulators I use in my work
(hspice, smartspice).
To me, however, the simulator itself doesn't
quite meet my needs for doing IC design.
Much of this is subjective, and everyone has their own opinion.
