Hello Carl,
First of all LTspice has also built-in mixed mode capability.
I tried now the CircuitLogix simulator. I have to admit that this animation capability of CircuitLogix is a good feature especially for education.
On the other hand I couldn't run any of the benchmark SPICE-circuits with the CircuitLogix program. It always gives the error message: Invalid CIRCUIT path/file name. I tried some examples, e.g. File->Open ".cir" sqrt.cir
Overall LTspice is a much more compatible SPICE simulator. Many of the commercial SPICE simulators don't have this compatilibity. You can take every SPICE book and immediately run the examples with LTspice on a netlist level. I also like the more powerful waveform editor in LTspice. It can easily work with data files having 1Giga-Byte. I reommend LTSpice for people who want SPICE. Not to forgot the many SMPS-models provided with LTspice.
CircuitLogix will have it's place in education because of it's animation capability. I appreciate that it's free for students and not limited as most other student versions of commercial SPICE-simulators. Isn't it the refreshed CircuitMaker program?
Best regards, Helmut
