Java circuit app

Anyone seen this before? I guess you can design and test virtual circuits on it. I was wondering how accurate you guys find it to be? Thanks in advance.

Circuit Simulator Applet

Yes. It is from Paul Falstad and was mentioned few times allready at the Forum.
I made a 555 Timer thread with it, and the Applet was pretty close to what it did build.
At this thread i even wrote some more about the Keys what i found out, what you can use, to build Circuits by your own.

Yes, I have been using it for years. It gives a reasonable approximation of components but does not include internal capacitance or resistance of components. By adding extra capacitors and resistors I have had good results that are quite close to real components.

When using inductors in the way we do, it can cause errors without the extra capacitance. For example on the Bedini SSG circuit I have to put a very small capacitor across the transistor emitter and collector to make it run. Also you can get a convergence failure when small amounts of capacitance are not used with complex inductor circuits, plus the voltages will be excessively high.

A great free program.

Sweet. Thanks guys!
