Abstract :
Students at the very first electrical engineering course begin to get acquainted with the bare basic material in the field. Thus, solving a circuit, aside from a small resistive circuit, is more than impossible. Fortunately, students have access to simulators like SPICE which can help them solve more complex circuits to observe the behaviour under different excitation inputs. This work describes a software interface that helps one to use a SPICE simulator without having any knowledge about the simulator syntax and requiring no previous training on the interface
