No. There are NO simulation programs that run 100% like real world components.

It is useful for standard bug checking and proof of concept, but a little wire in simulation can handle unlimited voltage and current, parts will not blow up in simulation, but they will in real life.

LTSpice is a good, free software.

Proteus, I know nothing about.

TI TINA, is another free, and good software.

I use LTSpice because thats what my favorite Wookie uses.

LTSpice has a YahooGroup that is very active and has dozens of component models.

Get LTSpice and be happy and buy a beer with the money you save. ;)

No simulation software will be completely accurate.

It is very useful to validate a design; to see what it might do under perfect (and perhaps not so perfect) conditions.

A SPICE simulation is only as good as the sum of it's inputs. Errors, like enemies, accumulate. Your mileage with real-world components may vary, and vary widely - depending upon how accurately your SPICE model reflected real-world conditions.

I'm reminded of what J.A. Pierce said concerning his choice of 10.2 kHz as the frequency for Omega navigation. 60 Hz was causing interference and the 170th harmonic of 60 Hz is the Omega frequency.

So, your designs can only improve as you know what is likely to cause the errors.

Attached is a minute picture of the harmomics for 60 Hz I did in 1999. The model is not complete if I were working in the Omega frequency range.

Elliot Sound Products has a nice model for tweeters and woofers.

Your software should be able to create macro's (sub-circuits) from your circuit models.
