NI Multisim is a software that integrates industry-standard SPICE simulation with an interactive schematic environment. This software is the key element for helping educators reinforce circuit theory. Additionally, it helps them improve retention of theory throughout the engineering curriculum, which is an important aspect. 

What makes NI Multisim different is that it helps researchers and designers reduce costs by reducing printed circuit board prototype iterations.  

Multisim lets you simulate and analyze circuits on screen, reducing the number of PCB prototype iterations.

Some of the features of the NI Multisim software service program include: 

  • Each purchase comes with a renewable, one-year membership
  • Phone and email technical support from NI engineers
  • Automatic updates to Multisim and Ultiboard software
  • Access to online training and demonstrations
  • Access to earlier versions of the software for compatibility with coworkers

In conclusion, NI Multisim is a widely used tool for engineers, scientists, researchers, and educators. It is sold in education and professional editions as a subscription or perpetual license, ships with the Ultiboard PCB layout tool in the Circuit Design Suite, and can be tried free for 7 days. NI is now part of Emerson.
