Please guys support the original qucs instead of qucs studio which is not open source but closed and users are dependent on the good will of the author.
- wrycoder 5y agoRight! And qucsStudio is Windows only, I believe. Qucs runs on Linux, MacOS, and Windows. http://qucs.sourceforge.net/ http://qucs.sourceforge.net/
- madengr 5y agoWhy? From a quick review of the videos, he has added some impressive features such as harmonic balance and planar EM. Then again, it’s nowhere near the professional tools such as Microwave Office, so I’ll continue to pay for those.
- buescher 5y agoIt's amazing how much is in Qucs already. I'll have to take a look. Agreed that the professional tools have a long and deep head start - I couldn't justify spending my time wrangling Qucs either.
- williria 5y agoYes, QucsStudio is closed but it is improving, with the sole work of one maintainer. He asked for some support, without much success. Also, although it is closed, check the improvements of QucsStudio over Qucs and see if he only cloned the project and said it is his or if he really care about a better simulator. Also to be clear, Qucs helped me a lot when I was searching free and open source simulator, and even showed me the world of open source, but the latest release is from 2017. QucsStudio still improving, and improving. Site, docs, tutorials, etc. As both are good projects, and one is the foundation of the other, I think both deserve some credit and support.
- welterde 5y agoIsn't qucs licensed under the GPL? Which would make that quite illegal.
- TFortunato 5y agoFWIW, the developer of QUCS Studio, is Michael Margraf, the original founder of the QUCS project
