NI Multisim Features

Ability to modify PCB layouts and PCB circuitry

Ability to capture electrical properties and other attributes of components, wires, nets and pins.

Ability to modify 3D primitives (parametric editing tools, free-form editing tools, symmetrical editing process, etc.)

Ability to access basic drawing tools (line, circle, polygons, etc.)

Ability to access basic editing tools (erase, trim, extend, undo, etc.)

Ability to access rendering tools (lighting tools, texture mapping, custom material creation, etc.)

Ability to modify 3D primitives (parametric editing tools, free-form editing tools, symmetrical editing process, etc.)

Ability to place circuit components within the PCB design

Ability to conduct computational fluid dynamics and thermal analysis

Ability to conduct finite element analysis test

Ability to conduct kinematics and dynamic analysis of mechanisms

Ability to find and download high quality PCB footprints

Ability to create custom commands or command aliases, change the active customization file, and configure command properties.

Ability to customize the user interface and recall customizations. Can define the workspace a custom panel should appear in.

Ample board space available for PCB design

Ample amount of layers to edit PCB designs

Ability to model discrete event simulation such as analyzing event-driven system models and optimizing performance characteristics such as latency, throughput, and packet loss.

Ability to model continous event simulation

Ability to conduct mechanical event simulation

Ability to model a manufacturing processes like casting, molding and die press forming

Ability to integrate with CAD and PLM software

Ability to support a sufficient number of hardware developers (by default or through the use of custom drivers).

Support for custom interfaces designed around specific design tasks, by default (out of the box) or through user customization.

Support for multiple user interface customizations. Can store and recall interfaces as required by a specific user without closing the application and without the need for scripting knowledge.

Names of basic commands are clear and easy to understand. On-cursor documentation, such as tool tips and pop-up descriptions, provide clarification of icons and other user interface elements.
