I wish more engineering software companies took this approach to marketing. It stimulates education and learning while helping the company train a new generation of users that will tend to order NI software when they join the engineering workforce since they've already started climbing that learning curve. I think it is great when engineering software companies offer students and hobbyists (non-profits can get NI student software from by uploading a copy of their tax exempt letter to ) access to commercial grade software for prices an individual can afford. The have the same program for the LabVIEW Student Evaluationįrom what I've seen there few significant diferences between the student/educational versions of Mutisim or LabVIEW and the commercial versions other than the price and some rules against using the student versions for commercial work. You can also get a free 6 month Multisim Student Evaluation license that I hear can be renewed as long as you qualify.
I help run a non-profit makerspace in addition to being an adjunct facutly member so I qualify on both counts. When I ordered I do recall having an issue with forced bundling of some hardware with LabVIEW but selecting non-profit seemed to work around that. offers the latest educational versions for prices an idividual can afford ($39.95 for the latest Multisim student edition, $19.99 for the latest LabVIEW student edition and $58.95 LabVIEW student edition software suite). I'll add my endorsement of Multisim especially if you are a student, faculty member or affiliated with a non-profit group such as a makerspace or other educational group. The software is actually part of a larger conglomerate - the NI Circuit Design Software package, which allows users to design their own circuits (circuit capture) and run simulations using a SPICE-based app to test the designs on the fly. One of the better-known tools on the market for both circuit design and simulation comes from National Instruments with their Multisim (formerly Electronics Workbench) platform. These software packages cost money but can save you costly mistakes.
Here are some popular tools to do virtual testing. In other words, make a digital (virtual) prototype of your board and simulate (model) how it will behave in the real world. It’s best to test your design out virtually. Testing can save you money and time avoiding faulty PCB fabrication because it gives you a chance to fix what doesn’t work before the board is made. Whether you’re a professional printed circuit board designer or do-it-yourselfer, you know that testing your circuit board design is a must.
