This "next step" is really on the vendor/manufacturer instead of simulator developers. It won't be addressed, either, because it's extra development and cost for the vendor to bare when a lot of low cost/generic applications won't benefit from having simulation files. Additionally, it's a lot more work for the vendor to characterize and also guarantee that their products are close in value after years of production. Some datasheets are very sparse not by mistake - they promise you exactly as much as the datasheet, no more no less (for reputable vendors anyway). The Micro-Cap simulator has the smoke test feature, for example. It's now abandoned and free for download.

The website however is now dead, but thanks to the Internet Archive we can still access it to download the software. https://web.archive.org/web/20220117133700/http://www.spectrum-soft.com/download/download.shtm https://web.archive.org/web/20220117133700/http://www.spectr... That software would be a great candidate for a crowdfunding campaign to purchase the source rights from the author and release it as Open Source. Edit: and it works great with WINE under Linux.
