Yes. It is the free version (limited to 50 parts and max. 3 op-amps)
(see Microsim8 Eval zip-file in attachment)
I have zipped the most complete schematic. However it is
somewhat inaccurate now, because the input HP
is not working as intended.

They are rather restricted and I am not very experienced in
simulations. So I had to use voltage controlled voltage
sources to simulate OPAMPS etc.

I do not know about such free available tools.
- always thought they were part of some professional
PCB router packages and way beyond my budget.

Yes - and with restrictions but with a nice GUI.

Perhaps we can compile some routing guidelines here.
