Qucs 0.0.4 has been released. The Qucs project (Qucs = Qt universal circuit simulator) today announced the immediate availability of Qucs 0.0.4, a Qt-based advanced and powerful microwave circuit simulator for GNU/Linux and other UNIXes. Qucs, including all its libraries and its applications, is available for free under Open Source licenses. Qucs can be obtained in source code from <http://sourceforge.net/projects/qucs>. Features Qucs provides a GUI based on Qt for setting up microwave circuits, a simulator, which is able to simulate the small- and large signal behaviour of microwave circuits. The results can be shown on a special presentation page in different formats (rect, polar, smith, tabular). Compiling Qucs 0.0.4 The complete source code for Qucs 0.0.4 may be freely downloaded. Instructions on compiling and installing Qucs 0.0.4 are included in the software archive. Only Qt-Libs >= 3.1 and the glibc are essential. About Qucs Qucs is an independent project of only a few developers, translators, etc, collaborating over the Internet to create and freely distribute a sophisticated, customizable and stable microwave circuit simulator. For enhancing the development speed we are looking for more developers, who want to support the Qucs Project. Changes in this release The new release includes a per-language internal help system. It comes with translations into Portuguese and Spanish. Some new paintings and components have been added, subcircuits can have a user-defined symbol. Also zooming has been improved and a progress bar during simulation is available. The simulation backend implements ideal AC, DC and S-parameter models for microstrip t-junctions and cross-junctions. Support of transient analysis for linear and non-linear components has been added as well as the AC simulation for all available components. Current and voltage pulse sources (single and rectangular) are now available. Thanks Lot of thanks go to the translators and to the supportive user responses so far encouraging us to improve the software. We couldn't have done it without you! So long, the Qucs team. |
