Logisim is a logic simulator that uses a graphical user interface to design and simulate circuits. Released under the GNU Public License, Logisim is free software that runs on Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux platforms. Your code is written entirely in Java. The primary developer, Carl Burch, had been working on Logisim since 2001, development was discontinued in 2014.
The software is widely used by computer science students to develop and experiment with digital circuits and simulations. Circuits are developed in Logisim via a graphical user interface, similar to traditional drawing programs that can also be found in many other simulators. Unlike most other simulators, Logisim allows the user to edit the circuit during the simulation. The relatively simple interface is well suited for introductory and overview lectures. There are also design features for more complex circuits such as B. "partial circuits" and "wire bundles" are available. Although you can also design complete CPU implementations within Logisim, the software is primarily intended for use in teaching. Logisim is unable to use analog components.
A fork that has been actively developed and expanded with some functions is Logisim Evolution.
