I had better luck recently. I’ve tried most of the commercial systems. None of them really got very far into the design.
Recently Radu over at Galvano.ai let me beta his platform. Way farther and way faster than anything I have used so far. Even managed to make the schematic placement sane.
The actual project was a regen clamp. So if the output voltage is greater than the input voltage (back emf from motor) you divert the excess to a resistor.
This has some analog tuning needed. So I created a python and skidl mirror of the netlist. This mirror was used to create ngspice unit tests to drive component optimization. Turns out not every resistor needed to be .1% and the ESR of our storage caps was a critical value.
All in all, it’s like ai and software. It’s not going to replace every job but will change how the jobs are done.
