About
Visit the Qucs homepage for more project related information.
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 behavior 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 Digia. 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.
Qucs is currently developed under the GNU/Linux and MacOS. Binary packages are provided for Windows The official build system uses standard Autotools. An almost feature complete set of CMake scripts is also available.
Qucs is said to be successfully compiled and run on Solaris, NetBSD, FreeBSD, and Cygwin... help is needed!
Qucs is released under the GPL license and so it is free for free programmers and users !
