I am a complete noob when it comes to electronic circuit simulation, but I want to get into it. I wonder which software package / tools I should go with.
- I am a Linux user, and I am looking for software that runs natively on Linux (no Windows emulators or virtual machines)
- I don't want to start with with a badly limited toy. I prefer to walk the learning curve of a full tool once instead of starting over with new tools many times.
- Some compatibility in terms of netlists, device models, etc. with the mainstream tools would be useful.
- Interfacing with Python or Octave would be cool (for extended data processing or plotting).
- Which other features / aspects should I care about?
So far I have read about ngspice and Gnucap. I am sure there are others.
Any advice on where to go would be great!
