I think that it is an advantage from the GUI to setup a circuit but
thats my opinion.
I think i would be confused to not forget the many node Numbers, and
which is conected with whom.
Oh, certainly draw your schematics with gschem! The question is what
to do with them.
One extremely handy way to automate the the flow from schematics to
simulations is to use "make". A makefile might look like this:
# Choose your favorite SPICE
SPICE=ngspice
simulation : main.cir
$(SPICE) main.cir
# netlist a subcircuit
sub.cir : sub.sch
gnetlist -g spice-sdb -o sub.cir sub.sch
# netlist main circuit (assume sub.cir is used via .include)
main.cir : sub.cir main.sch
gnetlist -g spice-sdb -o main.cir main.sch
Put that in a file named Makefile. Be sure that the indented lines
start with "tab" characters. Then type "make simulation". It'll run
gnetlist twice to make SPICE netlists, then run ngspice, dropping you
into the ngspice command interpreter. You can automate very elaborate
simulations of very complicated circuits in this manner. Type "info
make" for more on makefiles.
