LTSpice from Linear Technology (http://www.linear.com/) is hard to
beat. I think they actually call it SwitcherCad 3.

The built-in op amp library is restricted to parts that Linear
Technology makes or second sources, but that is a pretty comprehensive
selection, and it is easy enough to pick up Spice models for other
manufacturers op amps from the manufacturer's web-site. Finding out
where to put these models so that LTSpice can find them is a bit
trickier, but you can ask for advice here or on sci.electronics.cad.

Hello Paul,

It's ok in principle.
It's the first place where LTspice looks for a model file if you don't
specify the full path.

I prefer to save models and symbols always into the same directory where
I have saved my schematic. If I need a model in five different designs, I
save it into everey design directory. This makes it very easy to archive a
design.
I just zip all the files in the design directory, except the ".raw"-file of
course.

Best regards,
Helmut
