Design and Implementation of a user-friendly interface for NgSpice

An electronic simulation software like NgSpice, an improvement to spice3f5 circuit simulator might seem easy to use for experienced users but it has an issue of visual complexity to first-time users. This is as a result of a poorly-designed user interface which makes it seem so complex and consequently, puts off a user who then thinks that the software is only for highly-trained engineers. Backed up by a few years of graphic design experience and software development with Microsoft's .Net Framework, we designed a user-friendly and intuitive interface for the simulator. Our software features: A text editor for netlist files An ability to import already existing netlist files. An external NgSpice simulation engine. An experimental internal simulation engine. An ability to choose a simulation engine of your choice.
