New Multisim 11 academic and professional circuit simulation software from NI

NI has introduced the Multisim 11, a new version of its circuit simulation software, with specialized editions for both hands-on learning and professional circuit design. The Multisim software delivers a graphical approach that abstracts the complexities of circuit simulation, helping educators, students and engineers employ advanced circuit analysis technology.

The key features of Multisim 11 academic are,

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

The key features of Multisim 11 professional are,

Simulate better with SPICE parser improvements, updated BSIM models, support for advanced parameters and enhanced digital simulation accuracy
Easy prototype and ensure design synchronization 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

Multisim 11 Professional optimizes the circuit designs, minimize errors and reduce prototype iterations. When combined with the new NI Ultiboard 11 layout and routing software, Multisim provides end-to-end prototyping platform. Its integration with NI LabVIEW measurement software define custom analyses to improve design validation.
