National Instruments) has introduced Multisim 13.0, a SPICE simulation environment used by educators, students and engineers to explore, design and prototype circuits. It offers comprehensive circuit analysis tools for analogue, digital and power electronics. The graphical, interactive environment helps educators reinforce circuit theory and bridge the gap between the classroom and hands-on laboratory learning.

The new Multisim 13.0 benefits include: Circuit parameter and parameter sweep analysis; Digital circuits education with NI myRIO and Digilent FPGA targets; Power electronics analysis with IGBT and MOSFET thermal models; Device library of 26,000+ components; and Design automation with the Multisim API Toolkit for LabVIEW system design software.

The same capabilities are also used in various industries to explore design decisions and optimise circuit behaviour with mixed-mode simulation. Multisim takes students from basic electronics comprehension to complex final-year design projects through courseware and laboratory hardware integration to NI myDAQ, NI Educational Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS), NI myRIO and digital products from Digilent.

Multisim 13.0 also boasts ready-to-use daughterboard templates to speed design time for NI Single-Board RIO hardware and more. Aerospace, energy and life science engineers use device simulation models from leading semiconductor manufacturers in an interactive analysis environment to evaluate, optimise and design applications to meet specifications on time. Additionally, the Multisim API Toolkit for LabVIEW defines countless applications to correlate measurements, sweep domain specific conditions and analyse performance with flexibility unavailable in conventional simulation environments.
