Multisim For Mac
Why Multisim hasn't been developed for these operating systems and when can we expect a release for the before mentioned? I'm an Electrical & Computer Engineering student and out of convenience I have decided to switch to a Linux based platform and its very frustrating having to keep a small parti. Does anyone know if there is a Mac version of MultiSim? It's an electronic circuit simulator program. Figured if there were Maple alternatives there'd be some electronics program alternatives. Short of a Mac version do you guys know if there would be any similar programs for OS X? Please, please, please let there be some alternatives.

Overview of NI Multisim 14.2 Professional Benefits
Its intuitive interface helps educators reinforce circuit theory and improve retention of theory throughout engineering curriculum. By adding powerful circuit simulation and analyses to the design flow, Multisim helps researchers and designers reduce printed circuit board (PCB) prototype iterations and save development costs.
Multisim software by National Instruments combines SPICE simulation and circuit design into an environment optimized to simplify common design tasks, which helps you improve performance, minimize errors, and shorten time to prototype. With a library of 55,000 manufacturer-verified components and seamless integration with the Ultiboard1 PCB layout tools, you can confidently iterate through design decisions and annotate changes between layout and circuit schematic. Use Multisim with Ultiboard software to rapidly prototype, build interfacing circuitry, and troubleshoot electronic systems. Multisim users with an active Standard Service Program (SSP).
