Original poster: Vardan <vardan01@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Hi Steve,Orcad has a demo on their site but I am not sure if it is timed and it makes you download a bunch of other stuff too... I have never messed with it. I think it is version 9.2. Gerry uses another simulator he likes a lot and he is real good at that stuff. I am not sure what it is though.
I still use MicroSim 9.1 I would not use the older version since the new one is better and there are some hidden compatibility problems. You can buy it new for only $2500 :o))
But I still have the old student version here: http://hot-streamer.com/TeslaCoils/Programs/1-91pspstu.exeI hide it since I don't want to become the world's source for it and can't take the bandwidth bit. But Tesla coil folks are cool ;-))
Cheers,
Terry

I note some of you use Microsim 9.1 student version for schematic capture & simulation. OrCAD bought out Microsim years ago, so how does one get a free, student or demo version these days? There is an OrCAD demo version 10.5 (174 MB) available for download, but is it compatible with what is commonly used on this List? And does it go belly-up after a short trial period? Bottom line, how can one get an inexpensive legitimate copy of the simulator commonly used by Coilers? Thanks, --Steve Y.
