OSCAD is a complete EDA (Electronic Design Automation) tool for Electrical and Electronics Engineers. OSCAD is a combination of varoius powerfull tools like KiCAD, NGSpice and Scilab. Its a one stop open source software solution for designing a working circuit board. One can create a complete circuit schematic, generate the simulation Netlist, run simulations for verification and design the PCB layout for final board printing.
