Five thousand industry-standard components are only a mouse click away from your virtual benchtop. Multisim includes one of the industries largest component libraries complete with part numbers, symbols for schematic capture, models for simulation and footprints for layout, as well as full electrical information. The new, well-structured component database offers a wide variety of part types including a diverse selection of analog, digital, RF, electromechanical and hybrid parts. You can easily locate any of these parts using the powerful, built-in search engine.

In addition to the comprehensive library included with Multisim, you can edit or create your own parts using the highly flexible Component Editor to modify, assign or create new footprints, symbols or models. Multisim offers more methods for obtaining simulation models than any other product of its kind - import SPICE models, create a subcircuit, utilize advanced C-code modeling, or take advantage of Multisim's state-of-the-art Model Makers that automatically generate SPICE models from databook values. You can even use VHDL models for complex LSI/VLSI parts with the purchase of an optional VHDL Add-on module.
