Multisim Basics

Get an introduction to the NI Multisim integrated capture and simulation design environment and learn how to build a schematic and evaluate circuit performance with interactive simulation and advanced analyses. Also discover how to complement your current database of components by creating custom capture and simulation parts. This course prepares you to design and simulate a circuit that is ready to be transferred to board layout and routing.

Who should take these courses?

New Multisim users and designers who need learn how to capture, simulate, and analyze circuit.
