Do you use Electronic Circuit Simulation software during your development?
So far I have used simulations only a couple of time mainly for simulating op-amp based analog circuit or for power supply related analysis.
Lately, I started to search for simulation software which are available and could be used for circuit simulation for power supply design, etc.

I did a small research online and found a lot of simulation software available, some of the popular ones are listed first in the list.
I created this list and publishing it here so the others can take the advantage and save time in researching it all over again.
