Best for Designing Basic and Complex Digital as well as Power Circuits for Control
What do you like best?
The best thing about NI Multisim is its simplicity, the way its designed to cater electronics engineers and help them simulate come of the basic as well as complex circuits, like I have personally used it in college a lot for simulating my projects. For Eg. I had designed an instrumentation amplifier and I was able to demonstrate its functionality to my professors at college through Multisim even before creating the circuit on PCB. Anyone who has just basic knowledge of electronics and easily use Multisim right away and the library is also enriched specifically for low power electronic circuits and the ICs are also available if we have a good Digital Design to be made. I have found it useful to explain the engineers at my current organization also about the working of some projects which we are currently building.
What do you dislike?
We cannot use NI Multisim for heavy power circuits since its library does not have certain power components in it such as Power MOSFET, Power SCR etc. Otherwise rest everything is good. I faced some issues when I was creating a circuit of Multistage Power Amplifiers but then it was solved because I used Multisim Documentation and Help which was there online and also in the Software. I think some part of the software such as libraries having power components can also be updated with latest power components available in market.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
I would like to recommend NI Multisim to people who are freshers as well as industry professionals and also to electronics DIY enthusiasts who want to build and simulate some really good and amazing circuits and want to have accurate results while prototyping.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
I am an Electronics and Telecommunication engineer and I happen to simulate circuits very often so I use Multisim every time. The Analysis options which Multisim provides for analyzing the waveforms and sweep analysis is very good and is always helpful.
