An Open-Source, Free Circuit Simulator
When talking about open source tools, here are some: KiCad may be used as a schematic entry tool for ngspice, especially for discrete or PCB-based electronics. You may watch several simulation examples (including oscillators) here: https://forum.kicad.info/t/simulation-examples-for-kicad-eeschema-ngspice/34443. KiCad integrates ngspice internally, but may also provide external ngspice with netlists for simulation.... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
An Open-Source, Free Circuit Simulator
Https://ra3xdh.github.io It's only missing a solid components library like LTSpice has. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
An Open-Source, Free Circuit Simulator
You should consider using qucs-s https://ra3xdh.github.io/ a fully open-source fork of qucs still currently maintained and improved. - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
How can I simulate circuits?

A circuit simulator that doesn't look like it was made in 2003
Https://ra3xdh.github.io It's still missing a comprehensive component library like LTspice does, though. KiCad can also simulate circuits through NGSpice, but it's missing a library and suffers from a lot of quirks. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
