There are a couple of good reasons, but I'll give you my top 5: 1. You never have to leave your design environment, so you are always working with native ECAD data. There is no translation (export/import) of design information that can cause issues. You have simulation, schematic capture, PCB layout, and symbol/footprint creation in the same place. Since you are not transitioning between tools, you essentially eliminate the possibility of a mismatch between your actual design and your design intent. 2. Your component definition combines your symbol, simulation models, PCB footprint, and supply chain/sourcing information together. The unified component model ensures that your ECAD components have real-world parts that can be purchased and used in your manufactured design. 3. You can use any existing LTSpice models. There is also support for many other model types. 4. Simulation outputs are saved with your project files and can be easily included in manufacturing and assembly output packages. 5. The simulation process is quicker because you can make a change to parameters directly on the schematic and immediately run previous simulations. You get the added benefit of being able to save simulation results and compare how parameter changes effect your board.
I forgot to ask on the webinar. Is MCU simulation planned? The kind where you load the mcu .hex file and the code is executed in and by the simulation tool? This would would extremely helpful!
is it a proprietary SPICE engine or an embedded version of the Simetrix simulator? I seem to remember few years ago Simetrix was embedded in Altium but maybe that has now changed..?
Hello, great video 😄. I have an issue : I would like to simulate and view the effect of a diode bridge rectifier on the voltage. I put a voltage problem at the output of my diode bridge rectifier but I fail to see the rectified alternative voltage? Do you know the root of my issue? Thank you in advance 😊. Cordially.
t=2033 absolutely killed the entire thing, conveniently at the very end of the video. Who would be happy with a product that needs us to manually copy and paste _p1 _p2 _p3 _p4 etc for as many parameter sweep points there are before getting the results? What year is it?
(a not spice related question) I would to ask, if it is planned to enhance the SI simulation, regarding TDR, crosstalk and impedance analysis in the layout?

Why should i choose Altium spice over LTSpice when I have to create separate symbols anyways and LTSpice seems very stable?

I can't be the only one who noticed the use of the famous Soviet kt315 transistor in the demo! :)

@Manuel This is on the long-term roadmap. There are some other things ahead of it in the queue right now.
@@davidhaboud9557 awesome! As long as it is on the road map, it's good.
Glad you joined us to learn more about Simulation! Let us know if there are other topics you want covered.
is that feature existed in any other simulation software other than proteus and multisim ?

I couldn't find the LTspice import extension. I got the education version. Could that be why?
is the symbol model be able to use in simulation? please let me know, thanks.
i could simulate my sheet,but i have a part without a model space,how can i resolve this problem
Is the ltspice importer still here? I don't see it. EDIT: You have to hit the purchased tab, it's under there.
It's been moved to the Import Wizard, there should be an option to import LTSpice projects
is there any simultion example to download? i am not able to get any results. With LTspice it works fine.
I tried a basic circuit in altium simulator. I get the error: No ground nodes found. Anyone knows why that is??
You need to attach a ground net symbol to one of the nodes
When I try placing "Generic Simulation Components" in Nexus 4.3.2, Nexus crashes. Looks like the Simulation feature is unusable/broken.

I constantly get "no ground node found" and don't know how to fix it. Can anyone help, please?
Place a ground node on your schematic.
