National Instruments Multisim vs. SIMUL8

For simulation of electrical and electronics circuits either in transient or normal mode or various other modes. To obtain plots between various circuit parameters and elements and also check values of various output parameters based on input parameters. It also has various examples in the library which make it easier to modify few params instead of designing circuits from scratch

Based on my experience using SIMUL8, it is suited for mostly discrete event simulation models in many areas. However for specific material handling simulation, there are some specific solutions.

• It has various components available
• Real time simulation of various circuits
• Various types of simulations for a single circuits to obtain plots and values

Incentivized

• Easy to build Simulation Models
• Fast to run
• Easy to analyse simulation results

• It's good but sometimes error during simulation won't be more specific
• Has wide range of elements but some specifications aren't available
• Nothing

Incentivized

• 3-D graphics
• Visual logic Editor

SIMUL8 stacks well against other tool in the following: Features Easy to build Simulation Models due to Object Orientation Paradigm Fast to run Models due to Three Phase Method Simulation Engine Easy to Analyse Simulation Results, due to many features such as: Trial Calculator, Scenario Manager

• Prevent components from being burnt out
• Better design of circuits
• Real time testing
