There is a learning curve involved with that -- but please try and climb it. OK! I see light on the other side of the channel. With the help of a 'spice' guru I managed to get 'qucs' to simulate on my slackware-current laptop and desktop (it was a matter of inputting the correct values and a couple of diagrams, which I didn't do before). So, I can CONFIRM that it works. I just need to get armed of a lonnnng ladder (time) now and start the climb. I agree that open source should compete and outrank...

These are good questions. Out of curiosity, do you have it working on your box? Linux or Windows? Today, I had a lecture intro on LTspice and I tried to set most of the recognizable parameters identical to what we did in the lab. No go! No disrespect to the developers and their hard work but I really to know if it's me or the package so, I took an appointment with the lab technician, tomorrow, and will ask him: a) for help to set up those (unknown to me) parameters or b) check whether adjusting other...

so, this is what I call "weird software behaviour"! QUCS on my desktop (with qucsator) installed separately seems to open and report no error (when I run F2) in about half of those schematics in the testsuite folder. The weirdness comes when i test QUCS on my laptop: identical behaviour before I install QUCSator. Now, i am wondering, am i really "playing" uselessly with those files? Is my installed QUCS actually running any simulation when I hit F2? What is the point of installing QUCSator? or, are...

Thank you so much. So, i managed to see the simulation of the test folder you linked; does it mean that my qucs is ready-to-go? Only need to learn about it now? Cheers p.s.: I had found that github page but I run away as soon as i saw python lines and commands (

Maybe there is no "simulation command" element in your schematic. Look at the examples.. There are some in the qucs-test repo. Would you be so kind to point out where these examples are? Or where the repo is? I couldnt find it

OK, so I successfully downloaded, compiled and installed 1- qucs-0.0.20-rc2 and, 2- qucsator-develop and I am not sure whether, or not, it solved the Simulation error issue. When I run the simulation (F2) a window appears and close so quickly that I can't even read a single word in it and, the tab switches from "test_circuit.sch" to "test_circuit.dpl" (which I believe it to be the simulation display page). Accidentally, I pressed F2 again and this time the error window appeared, in the display tab...
