11. Simulation: To add advanced component stress analysis.

Status: New Submitted by Member on 01-05-2017 07:23 AM Comment

11. Simulation: To add component stress analysis but more advanced. The goal is to check maximum dissipated power according to derating power characteristics for resistors according to current operating temperature (TEMP parameter for circuit simulation) and maximum voltage for a components (resistors, capacitors).

Import Eagle Parts

Status: New Submitted by Member on 11-15-2016 03:41 PM Comment

Since EAGLE has become so widespread many part manufacturers provide part libraries as EAGLE files downloads.

It would be really useful to be able to import these EAGLE part libraries into the Ultiboard database.

Ultiboard: BGA Fanouts

Status: New Submitted by Member on 10-27-2016 07:32 AM Comment

Hi,

This is my fourth advise about Ultiboard ideas.

We should have better FANOUT BGA routing in the ultiboard. The current one does not work well and is not able to complete BGA Fanouts. Everytime I should draw it manually to have better and complete Fanouts.

Ultiboard: track shoving

Status: New Submitted by Member on 10-27-2016 05:19 AM Comment

Hi,

 

This is my third post about Ultiboard and I have an advise if Ultiboard Team listens.

 

Ultiboard should have Track and Via Shoving function to have more proffessional CAD design tool. This is really annoying without this function especially when we draw small pcbs of BGA design.

 

Thanks,

ERC

Multisim Live

Status: New Submitted by Member on 09-19-2016 05:36 PM Comment

So far so good.

It would be awesome if Multisim Live included also the Multimeter feature, as the PC software.

 

Cheers

sensors and transducers in multi sim

Status: New Submitted by Member on 09-10-2016 04:11 PM Comment

i am looking forward to see sensors and transducers in Multisim, for example models of thermocouples, NTC and PTC , LDR, even ultrasonic sensors  and LVDT can be easily added to Multisim. 

also i am waiting to improve the microphone model so that we can use it immediately in the circuit.  Further more, we are looking forward to Arduino in multisim.

Multisim Touch Pro

Status: New Submitted by Member on 09-06-2016 03:25 AM Comment

I am using Multim Touch form the applestore and I am very satisfied. But...

How about a Pro version of Multisim Touch with a price tag around 30.0 U$S but with more capabilities

like being able to use self-defined models, having some more components form the beginnig and being able

to exchange files (like models for instance) over iTunes in the App section.

I think educators and hobbyst would most likely be very inetersted.

Open Circuits

Status: New Submitted by Member on 08-31-2016 10:51 PM Comment

Recently in class we were using the Signal Generator and the Bode Plotter.  It made it somewhat difficult to get the correct readings because the live version does not include an option to place an open wire (was using it on an op amp) like in the application version.  It also made it somewhat difficult to change an AC current when involving different equations. Overall I like the Live version.

Multisim Live: Move Probes with Wires

Status: New Submitted by Active Participant on 08-31-2016 10:24 AM Comment

After placing some probes on my circuit, if I move any of the components, the attached wires will move accordingly, but the probes will not. Therefore they are no longer connected to the wires and need to be reconnected manually. I would like for probes to be attached to the wires and move along wtith them when moving components.

Make "MultSim Live" a part of any electronics textbook (maybe with "mini-subscriptions")

Status: New Submitted by Member on 08-18-2016 03:12 AM Comment

Hello,

 

I am a noob in electronics and are following along one the popular
books: "Make:Electronics", but this idea is applicable for any textbook in electronics.

 

make1.jpg

 

Besides actually "breadboarding" the exercises in the book,  i would like to simulate them to get the hang of that side of things also, and after a lot of research, the web interface of "MultiSim Live" seem to be the perfect alternative.

In my case because the "2N6027" PUT component is missing from most competitors, but exist in Multisim Live Premium, and many excercises in the book depend on it.

 

Here is the idea:

 

Would it not be nice if the author could create a temporary subscription in Multisim Live for its subscribers, where only the components in the book are included?

 

The subscriber would still have to pay for it, but for a much smaller price, since it is only make sense if you have the book.

Pros:

- Multisim Live would get great advertisment since the product is referred to throughout the book.

- Beginners like me would not have to worry that we dont find the correct components , since they are listed when you login to multisim with this special subscription package.

- Of course, the author could have pre-made excercises in Multisim live to drive home points

- The opportunities for converting these subscribers to premium subscribers would be endless

 

Cons:

Absolutely zero

 

Please NI make this happen, its a no-brainer 🙂

Increase the library of Microcontroller in Multisim

Status: New Submitted by Member on 07-20-2016 02:15 AM Comment
Increase the library of microcontrollers like PIC, AVR Atmega in Multisim. There is Proteus software available which already have a vast library, but I like Multisim Environment and don't want to move to Proteus.

Ultiboard: Stop automatic glueing of parts to gudelines

Status: New Submitted by Member on 07-04-2016 07:50 AM Comment

Currently (Ultiboard 14.0) parts automatically glue to guidelines if one 'catches' a part center when placing a guideline. Then. when a part is glued, it moves along with the guldeline.

 

 When one works on a precise part of layout and aligns components using guidelines, guidelines can catch parts in other part of the PCB and destroy layout there. Please disable this feature or at least make it optional.

Ultiboard: Polygon creation improvement

Status: New Submitted by Member on 06-06-2016 02:37 AM 2 Comment

It would be good to allow undoing polygons vertex by vertex. Now when one makes a mistake when laying up a polygon, he/she has to cancel the drawing and start over. It would be a big improvement if there was an option to remove the last created polygon vertex.
