I consider that Electronic Workbench is an excellent program for visualising
circuits - I use it with students and within about 1 hour, from scratch,
they can see what is happening with the currents going down through
resistors etc.
The circuit diagram capture is simple to use in EWB but does not produce
anything which could be considered as a professional circuit diagram. The
spice simulator is adaquate.
All circuit simulator programs are imperfect.. because they are based on
simplified mathematical models of the brehaviour of a real physical device
in a real world. They will give reasonable approximations to the real
thing provided that the model chosen is both realistic and appropriate. The
designer must appreciate that the programme for all its sophistication is
basically a mathemtical calculator ... One will often find it difficult to
get a oscillator to oscillate in EWB or other simulators, while the real
thing has no difficulty in bursting into oscillation.
The AC analysis progrmme in spice is the one which will particularly allow
devices to have incredibly high voltages accross them . this is because it
will take the ac small signal model for components and construct the
circuit from it.
The Transient anaylsis - scope like display is the best in this regard. it
may use the DC values.
