Qucs-S 0.0.24

About this release

I am glad to present you the 0.0.24 release of Qucs-S an universal GUI for SPICE-compatible circuit simulation engines. Visit http://ra3xdh.github.io/ to learn more about Qucs-S.

New features of the 0.0.24

New simulation types

  • Added S-parameter simulation using Ngspice and Xyce backends; Ngspice>=37 requiered #84, #79
  • Added FFT analysis with Ngspice backend #88

GUI improvements

  • Implemented dark desktop theme support #66
  • Implemented manual setting of the X-axis markers postion #92
  • Added separate setting for schematic and application font

Qt5 support

  • Removed QtScript dependency (thanks @zergud) #77
  • Fixed Qt5.15 deprecation warnings #75

Component libraries

  • Added quartz crystal library (Crystal.lib); the quartz model is optimized for filter design;
  • Added TL431 device in Regulators library;

General bugfixes

  • Fixed crash on HB simulation with XYCE #28
  • Fixed empty path for working directory #86
  • Show error when schematic contains only DC simulation (no effect for Ngspice) #83
  • Fixed layout in arrow properties dialog #81
  • Fixed drag'n'drop operation from left dock to schematic
  • Fixed newlines in SPICE resitors #62
  • Fixed crash on Wayland #76

Documentation and examples

  • Added offline PDF tutorial; the link for old Qucs tutorial removed from Help menu #78
  • Added examples for new S-parameter and FFT simulations
  • Fixed distortion simulation example #83

Additional information

See also our presentation from MIXDES-2017 conference for more info about Qucs-S and its compact modelling features. You may download the Part 1 and Part2 from the ResearchGate.

Known issues

  • Parameter sweep doesn't work when using the Fourier simulation with XYCE backend #73
  • Ngspice netlister may produce duplicate .SUBCKT entry when using the same component from user and system library #82

Source code

Download the source code file qucs-s-0.0.24.tar.gz and build it with cmake to try new Qucs-S.

Linux

Windows

Windows portable package could be downloaded as zipped distribution. Unpack and launch qucs-s.exe from bin subdirectory. Ngspice requires a separate installation. There is two windows packages available:

  • qucs_s_win64_0_0_24.zip 64-bit (x86_64) portable Windows version;
  • qucs_s_win32_0_0_24.zip 32-bit (i686) portable Windows version;

Qucs-S 0.0.23

About this release

I am glad to present you the 0.0.23 release of Qucs-S an universal GUI for SPICE-compatible circuit simulation engines. Visit http://ra3xdh.github.io/ to learn more about Qucs-S.

New features in 0.0.23

This release brings a number of major changes:

  • The Qucs-S application is now fully ported to Qt5 and could be compiled on modern Linux distributions; #72 #32
  • Added two new component libraries: BF998 and Tubes containing two-gate MOSFET and vacuum tubes (triodes and penthodes provided by @olegkapitonov ) models;
  • WIndows binary switched to 64-bit build. The old 32-bit binaries are not provided anymore;
  • Ngspice is now the default simulation kernel on the first application start;
  • The Qucs-S doesn't use a shared settings file with Qucs anymore #71

Also the release contains a number of bugfixes:

  • Fixed "Show last netlists" not showing SPICE netlist when SPICE engine is selected #41
  • Use system default sans serif font instead of "Helvetica", because "Helvetica" cannot be rendered correctly on some platforms;
  • Fixed .INCLUDE directive support with SpiceOpus #16
  • Partially fixed .FOUR simulation support for Xyce backend #73
  • Removed warning about experimental feature in the simulation dialog. Qucs-S is considered to be stable now;

New features in 0.0.20

This release contains both new features and general bugfixes. Here is a changelog:

  • Added sensitivity analysis support for Xyce(DC and Transient .SENS) and Ngspice (DC and AC .SENS). See new components in Simulations group. Look at examples/ngspice and examples/xyce subdirectories for sensitivity simulation usage examples.
  • Fixed Parameter sweep with Harmonic balance simulation with Xyce
  • Add list mode for parameter sweep support with Xyce
  • Added Fowler-Nordheim diode model in AnalogueCM library (Mike Brinson)
  • Added XSPICE Code Model synthesizer. It allows to convert schematic to XSPICE compact model. See our presentation at MOS-AK event in Lausanne for more details: http://www.mos-ak.org/lausanne_2017/presentations/T03_Kuznetsov_MOS-AK_DATE_2017.pdf
  • Added user mathematical functions definitions with .FUNC See also our presentation from the Spring MOS-AK conference for usage example.
  • General bugfixes for Ngspice and Xyce. Thanks Tom Russo (@tvrusso) from Xyce team.
  • Update of the documentation on https://qucs-s-help.readthedocs.io/ (Mike Brinson)
