How to Use xschem and ngspice Together

1. Create Schematic in xschem:

   • Draw your circuit.
   • Save the schematic as my_circuit.sch.

2. Generate the Netlist:

   • Ensure your schematic is open.
   • Go to Simulation > Set netlist dir. Set your netlist directory.
   • Go to Options > Netlist format / Symbol mode. Ensure your saving your netlist as a spice file
   • In the top right, press the button that looks like an arrow pointing to a piece of paper to create the netlist

3. Simulate with ngspice:

   • In the terminal, run the simulation while in the directory of the spice file:

     ngspice my_circuit.spice

   • Save the output to a file (e.g., ngspice_output.txt).

4. Analyze Results with C++ Program:

   • Compile and run compute.cpp to process the simulation results:

     g++ -o compute compute.cpp
     ./compute
