About NL5 Circuit Simulator
There are plenty of circuit simulators available on the market. Just read their ads: high performance, extremely fast, industry-standard (i.e. SPICE), easy to use, highly intuitive. If you want to see if a tool is worth using, try it yourself. That's what many NL5 users already did. I hope they will share their encouraging stories soon. A few words about what should you expect from NL5. It is not one more SPICE (and not even close), nor is it a SPICE replacement. For some tasks NL5 is far superior, for others simply good, and some tasks are not for NL5 at all.
