Re: [Qucs-devel] [Kicad-developers] KiCad And Quces

[Wladek G. <wl...@gr...>]

have a look at last 2017 year FOSDEM CAD Devrom talk "Integrated Spice
Simulation with Kicad"
https://archive.fosdem.org/2017/schedule/event/spice_kicad/
there are some details about ngspice/Kicad integration

This 2018 year we will have two SPICE related talks:

FOSS/H EDA tools for SPICE modeling

https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/cad_spice/
about EspoTek’s Labrador / QUCS FOSS/H cointegration


Gnucap, and analog and mixed signal simulation

https://fosdem.org/2018/schedule/event/cad_gnucap/
basic Gnucap "SPICE" methods (DC, AC, and transient analysis), mixed-signal
(event driven) simulations, and "Fast-Spice"
