    Unhappy Electronics Workbench, MATLAB, PCB Express on linux

    I am a student of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering and am badly in need of using Electronics Workbench, MATLAB, PCB Express. But I don't want myself to be forced to use windows for simply working with these softwares.

    Are there seperate versions of the above-mentioned softwares to be used in linux?

    well I have a textbook edition of MULTISIM running under WINE, but as far as MATLAB goes I'm not really willing to help you there, because it uses a patented compiler which goes against my computing ethics, but there is a nice PCB design application simply called PCB that might be of some help. MATLAB is not currently available for linux and could only be released by the original developer, cloning the language would break the patent.. see why software patents suck now?

    well I never, MATLAB is available for linux The MathWorks - MATLAB® - Requirements

    I managed to get electronics workbench runnning with wine. Also there is an application called ksimus which is similar to electronics workbench. As for the others I don't have a clue Anyway try using wine to get them working.

    Well wine is just great. I am also trying KSimus and PCB.
    Wondering where to manage a student version of MATLAB from!

    Just wine

    Neither KSimus nor PCB seems to be any good. Depending on wine for EWB and PCBExpress.

    why don't you use Spice? I'd profer to use spice instead EWB + Wine.

    at the begining it can be hard to define materials but i'm sure spice is better tnan EWB

    Just FYI, Octave is a GNU software that tries to be 100% compatible with MATLAB. It doesn't have anything equivalent to Simulink, but does almost everything else. It's a command-line program, and needs gnuplot to come up with graphs.

    I'm a ME graduate and used Octave many times since I didn't feel like buying a copy of MATLAB.

    Yes. Octave is just excellent

    I have recently come to use Octave. And It's no worse than MATLAB. I can do with it until need for simulink arises...
