Cadence Demo (OrCAD)

Cadence's OrCAD Demo package is a SPICE tool for circuit simulation used in a number of classes. This package has a component limit (20) and a node limit (64). If you need to design a circuit with more components in it, you will need the licensed version of OrCAD.

Installing OrCAD Demo

Click here. Login with your Virginia Tech PID/password. Save the file to your desktop. This will take a few minutes to a long time depending upon the speed of your network connection. If you don't have a fast network connection at your home/apartment, it would probably be faster to go to campus and use the campus network.

Right click the ZIP file, select "Extract All...". Extract to your Desktop.

Now, start the install by double clicking the file "setup.exe".

There is a readme file that you should take a look at here.
