Qucs-S is a spin-off of the Qucs cross-platform circuit simulator. "S" letter indicates SPICE. Qucs-S project uses free SPICE circuit simulation kernels to sumulate circuits. It merges the power of SPICE and the simplicity of the Qucs GUI. Backends: * Ngspice is the default backend recommended for use in Qucs-S. Ngspice is powerful mixed-level/mixed-signal circuit simulator. Most of industrial SPICE models are compatible with Ngspice. It has an excellent performance for time-domain simulation of switching circuits and powerful postprocessor. * XYCE is a new SPICE-compatible circuit simulator written by Sandia from scratch. It supports basic SPICE simulation types and has advanced RF simulation features such as Harmonic balance simulation. * SpiceOpus is developed by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of the Ljubljana University. It based on the SPICE-3f5 code. * Qucsator as backward compatible.
