Does the company LT spice intends to make upgrade on LTSpice to improve useability?
In case it wasn't clear already ...
This forum is essentially a user's group, a collection of LTspice
users. It is not run by Linear Technology Corporation (LTC)
(www.linear.com), and is not even moderated by them. Yes there is at
least one employee of Linear who visits here often, but he (Mike) is
not a moderator here. We are LTspice users, not LTspice program
developers.
I think the person to direct this question to, is Mike; and/or the
management of Linear Technology, the company behind LTspice. The
other 38,000 people here don't work for Linear and have no direct say
in the program's development.
However, my personal view is that LTspice is, and has continually been
improved. and I expect that this trend will likely continue. But I
don't speak for the management of LTC.
If you don't think LTspice has improved over the years, then you may
have a very narrow view of what features it needs, only to suit your
specific requirements. LTspice has a wide user base and its features
have expanded to meet the needs of that user base. It handles
3rd-party SPICE models (non-Linear Tech products) very well and I
would guess that the vast majority of users are using it with
3rd-party models. (Yes there are exceptions; encrypted HSpice models
are an example of that.) I would not expect LTspice to ship complete
with non-LTC SPICE models built-in to the program or in its libraries.
Are you looking for a statement from their Board of Directors, saying
that they intend to continue development of and improvements to the
program?
