NI Multisim (Getting Started with Multisim)

MULTISIM__TUTORIAL 

What Is Multisim?

    Multisim software is industry-standard SPICE simulation and circuit design software for analog,     digital, and power electronics in education and research.

These are the basic functions of Multisim software.

1. Open/Create Schematic

    A blank schematic Circuit 1 is automatically created. To create a new schematic

    click on File – New – Schematic Capture. To save the schematic click on File /Save

    As. To open an existing file click on File/ Open in the toolbar.

 

2. Place Components

    To Place, Components click on Place/Components. On the Select Component

    Window click on Group to select the components needed for the circuit. Click OK to

    place the component on the schematic.

For example to select resistors and the DC source or other components for testing and so on.

3. Rotate Components

    To rotate the components right click on the Resistor to flip the component on 90

    Clockwise (Ctrl +R) and 90 Counter Clockwise (Ctrl+Shift+R).

4. Place Wire/Connect Components

    To connect resistors click on Place/Wire drag and place the wire. Components can

    also be connected by clicking the mouse over the terminal edge of one component

    and dragging it to the edge of another component.

    

   To change component values double click on the component this brings up a

    window that display the properties of the component.

    Use the Multimeter to measure AC or DC voltage or current, and resistance

    or decibel loss between two nodes in a circuit.

5. Simulation:

    To simulate the completed circuit Click on Simulate/Run or F5. This feature can

    also be accessed from the toolbar
