Released Qucs 0.0.16 !
What's Qucs?
So far Qucs is not yet finished... but it is on the road.
Qucs is an integrated circuit simulator which means you are able to
setup a circuit with a graphical user interface (GUI) and simulate the
large-signal, small-signal and noise behaviour of the circuit. After
that simulation has finished you can view the simulation results on
a presentation page or window.
Qucs, briefly for Quite Universal Circuit Simulator, is a circuit
simulator with graphical user interface (GUI). The GUI is based on
Qt® by Trolltech®.
The software aims to support
all kinds of circuit simulation types, e.g. DC, AC, S-parameter,
Harmonic Balance analysis, noise analysis, etc.
Qucsator, the simulation backend, is a command line circuit simulator.
It takes a network list in a certain format as input and outputs a
Qucs dataset. It has been programmed for usage in the Qucs project
but may also be used by other applications.
So far we were working on the GUI and on some basic simulation
features. In fact there is now a kind of useful user interface for
setting up schematics and presenting simulation results in various
types of diagrams. DC, AC, S-parameter, noise and transient analysis is
possible, mathematical equations and use of a subcircuit hierarchy are
available. Anyway, a lot of work has to be done and thus we are
looking for people who want to support the project.
A few first versions can be downloaded in the download section. Please keep in
mind that these versions are still incomplete and we hope that some of
you will be able to compile and run the package by their own. Some example schematics have been setup to
demonstrate the abilities of Qucs.

Operating System
Qucs is currently developed under the GNU/Linux OS using the standard
autotools with no special effort to support other operating systems.
Qucs is said to be successfully compiled and run on Solaris, NetBSD,
FreeBSD, MacOS, Windows and Cygwin... help is needed !
License
Qucs is released under the GPL license and so it is free for free
programmers and users !
