Today we are happy to announce the release of a set of substantial improvements to the Custom Part symbol in CircuitLab. It is now easier and much more intuitive to create and edit Custom Symbols in CircuitLab to fit all your diagramming needs. Among the new features are the ability to add pin annotations, drag and drop multiple pins at once, and the ability to show pin numbers. Here's a quick demo of the new custom part.
All existing custom parts will be automagically upgraded to the new custom part when you load your circuit. As with all CircuitLab schematic elements, you can copy and paste your symbols within a schematic or between different browser tabs. Take a look at the documentation for more info on the new Custom Part.
We've just released Workbench Search, allowing our users with tens or hundreds of saved schematics to rapidly find the one they're looking for. This new feature also includes an instant autocomplete matching all your saved circuits, so you rarely even need to use the search results page:
Workbench Search is now available to all users from the right-side pane of My Workbench.
We’re happy to release the latest version of the CircuitLab simulation engine, with 2-4X speed improvements typical across DC Sweep, Transient (time domain), and Bode (frequency domain) simulations. The exact degree of speedup will depend on the particular configuration of your circuit, but in general, you should expect a significant performance improvement. As always, you can also adjust the running time of your simulation by varying the amount of simulation needed, for example step size, time step, or frequency resolution.
This simulation engine update also includes improvements to particular convergence issues, especially around op-amp behavior.
The new simulation engine is now available to all of our CircuitLab premium subscribers. Upgrade today to immediately unlock faster simulations!
