3D Circuit Design and Simulation Tool
Objective
To develop a virtual platform that allows students and engineers to design, visualize, and simulate electronic circuits in 3D, providing an interactive and intuitive way to understand circuit behavior and layout before physical implementation.
Key Features
Student Panel:
-
Design electronic circuits using drag-and-drop components
-
Visualize circuits in 3D for better spatial understanding
-
Simulate current, voltage, and signal flow in real-time
-
Test circuits with various input values and observe outputs
-
Save and export circuit designs for reports or further use
Teacher Panel:
-
Create sample circuits for demonstration
-
Assign simulation exercises to students
-
Monitor student circuit designs and simulations
-
Provide feedback and correct errors in designs
Admin Panel:
-
Manage users (students & teachers)
-
Monitor system usage and active sessions
-
Add new components or modules to the simulation library
-
Generate analytics on usage patterns and popular simulations

Workflow (Step-by-Step)
1. User Registration & Login
-
Students and teachers register/login securely
-
Access dashboards with project and simulation options
2. Circuit Design
-
Drag-and-drop components (resistors, capacitors, diodes, ICs, etc.) onto a virtual breadboard
-
Connect components using virtual wires
-
Option to switch between 2D and 3D visualization
3. Simulation Setup
-
Set input parameters (voltage sources, signal frequency, etc.)
-
Configure simulation type (AC, DC, transient, logic analysis)
4. Run Simulation
-
Observe real-time current flow, voltage drops, and signals
-
3D visualization of electron paths and energy flow (optional)
-
Highlight incorrect connections or short circuits
5. Results & Export
-
Generate graphs and waveforms for analysis
-
Export circuit design and simulation data
-
Students submit designs and simulation results for assignments
6. Analytics & Feedback
-
Teachers can review submitted circuits
-
Provide suggestions, corrections, or improvements
-
Track student progress and understanding of circuits
