DesignSoft Edison

Electricity is a branch of physics that enabled technology to advance fast and efficiently. Circuits make everything work and thanks to applications like DesignSoft Edison these can be designed from the comfort of your desktop.

When the application starts, two main windows are brought up. You can work in either one, the main difference being that one offers a schematic view while the other is a 3D interpretation. Each change made is updated in real time in the other section.

The schematics editor puts all of the basic elements at your disposal to design a circuit just like physics class. You can place items on a grid and easily connect them using a wire. You can insert text on the schematics in case something needs to be specified.

Same can be said about the other window. More elements can be added here, for example multiple voltage source types that are represented by a single element in the schematic view. Moreover, when you want to test the circuit, a start simulation option puts everything in motion, if correctly designed.

Sticking to the 3D view, you have multiple options to work with. Several examples can be found, ranging from Ohm's Law to advanced lessons or anything of interest you create. These can be set to play automatically for a better presentation mode.

Knowledge can be put to the test by solving problems. Each quiz brings up a circuit and requires you to solve certain equations in order to obtain the right answer.

Taking everything into consideration, we can say that DesignSoft Edison is a powerful ally of a physics teacher. It makes for a handy educational software and can help youngsters learn faster due to its clever and easy to use interface.
