I was wondering if anybody is aware of any up and coming circuit simulators for mac? I have a little bit of experience with National Instruments Multisim and I quite like its layout and functionality. I know that I could purchase a virtual machine environment (Parallels) with the Windows OS and run Multisim, but I was curious whether or not a fully featured software would be arriving for Mac.

I've used iCircuit a bit and it is fun to play around with, it lacks the robust circuit library of a Multisim. I'm amazed by the lack of EE software available for the Mac in 2015. I recently discovered that LTSpice is now available as a native Mac implementation. Download it from Linear Technology for free. It seems to work like the windows implementation although the menus are done differently.

It can use the same netlist files. I have also used LTSpice under VirtualBox (free from Oracle) with no problems. You have to install windows in the VM with this approach. LTSpice will run under Crossover on a Mac. This does not require that you install Windows. There were a few quirks with some of the dialog boxes but it was very usable.
