National Instruments Multisim 11 Simplifies Circuit Simulation for Teaching and Design

The academic edition of Multisim 11 incorporates specialised teaching features and is complemented by circuits textbooks and courseware. This integrated system helps educators engage students and reinforce circuit theory with an interactive, hands-on approach to investigating circuit behaviour. Widely implemented throughout academia, technical colleges and four-year universities choose Multisim for its interactive components, simulation-driven instruments and integration to real-world analogue and digital measurements.



Multisim 11 Professional helps engineers optimise circuit designs, minimise errors and reduce prototype iterations. When combined with the new NI Ultiboard 11 layout and routing software, Multisim provides engineers a cost-effective, end-to-end prototyping platform. Its integration with NI LabVIEW measurement software also helps engineers define custom analyses to improve design validation.



Key benefits of Multisim 11 include the following:



Multisim 11 Academic

-- Simplify digital circuits teaching by exporting raw VHDL from a programmable logic device (PLD) schematic

-- Guide hands-on electronics experiments with new educator-requested AC single-frequency analysis

-- Correlate simulated data with real-world measurements by integrating with the NI Electronic Laboratory Virtual Instrumentation Suite (NI ELVIS) educational prototyping platform



Multisim 11 Professional

­­ Simulate better with SPICE parser improvements, updated BSIM models, support for advanced parameters and enhanced digital simulation accuracy

-- Prototype easier and ensure design synchronisation and transparency with enhanced forward/backward annotation from the Multisim schematic to an Ultiboard layout

-- Improve design communication with on-page connectors and a new WYSIWYG net naming system
