Electric has two built-in simulators (described later) and can generate decks for many other simulators. The abilit to interface to external simulators is controlled with the Simulation (Spice), Simulation (Verilog), and Simulation (Others) commands (in menu Tool).

Be aware that the Electric distribution does not come packaged with these external simulators. You must get your own copy of Spice, Verilog, or any other simulator mentioned here.

Electric can write netlists for these simulators:

Simulator | Level | Netlist Command (in Tool / Simulation)
ArchSim | functional | Write ArchSim Deck... (Others)
CDL | circuit | Write CDL Deck... (Spice)
COSMOS | switch | Write COSMOS Deck... (Others)
ESIM/RNL | switch | Write ESIM/RNL Deck... (Others)
FastHenry | inductance | Write FastHenry Deck... (Others)
IRSIM | switch | Write IRSIM Deck... (Others)
Maxwell | circuit | Write Maxwell Deck... (Others)
MOSSIM | switch | Write MOSSIM Deck... (Others)
PAL | gate | Write PAL Deck... (Others)
RSIM | switch | Write RSIM Deck... (Others)
SILOS | functional | Write SILOS Deck... (Others)
Spice | circuit | Write Spice Deck... (Spice)
Tegas | functional | Write Tegas Deck... (Others)
Verilog | functional | Write Verilog Deck... (Verilog)

The ArchSim simulator is a special-purpose experimental simulator. Output from it can be displayed in a waveform window by using Display ArchSim Journal... (in menu Tool / Simulation (Others)).
