electronic simulation software.

Something where I can draw a circuit with relays and switches and other basic components, simulate it, press the switches and the relays move and solenoids show as on etc.

I had a look at circuitlab but it is more a theory tester not a simulator.

Thanks. Karma

I used to use Crocodile Clips software. It's found in schools, so is pretty basic and easy to use (ideal). But you have to pay for it (I may have downloaded a pirate version).

A quick Google brought up a web based one, https://www.circuitlab.com/editor/

Looks alright but I haven't really tried it.

Try this: https://www.falstad.com/circuit/
Free, runs on java, does most things that don't require IC modelling.

I used croc clips back in school. It was pretty good but they have changed their name to Yenka and can only be used for education or home use. Not commercial. Autocad licences are also very expensive.

I already looked at falstad and circuit lab but they don't do what I want.

I might use Yenka at home and then just print it off and take it to work. Laughing

I like to mess around with the Yenka/Crocodile clips software. I'm sure they'd never know you were using it in the office.

If not try National Instruments Multisim (30 day trial):

https://www.ni.com/academic/multisimse.htm

Quick vid of Multisim:

What is NI Multisim?

It's really easy to use and stupidly powerful if you want to create something ridiculously complicated.

I torrented a copy of circuit wizard, sounds exactly like what you want. Big list of components etc, afterwards you can ask it to draw a PCB.

Also simulates relays, horns, lights etc etc etc.
