Marking simulation components

Is there a way to mark simulation components on the schematic so that they are not imported into the PCB layout ?

Hi, Now, You need to create two projects, one for simulation, one for PCB. You can copy and paster, and remove some simulation components in PCB projects. This is a good suggestion, maybe we will support this soon

@quitedragon, One way to handle simulation-only/simulation-and-PCB/PCB-only parts is to create the schematic in three sheets. 1. A sheet with the main schematic containing all the parts that are to be simulated *and* placed on the PCB; 2. A sheet with only the parts required purely for simulation such as: power supply Voltage sources and other sources such as input signals and any active loads such as constant current or constant power sources and sinks; 3. A sheet with only the non-simulation parts such as connectors, battery holders, etc; Then for simulation, put sheet (2) and a copy of sheet (1) into a simulation project. For PCB payout, put sheet (3) and a copy of sheet (1) into a PCB layout project. Here is an example of such a project: ><https://easyeda.com/example/Project_for_EDN_Simulation_schematic-eg93lfxPJ> ><https://easyeda.com/example/Project_for_EDN_Schematic_and_PCB-FHBvVPJ0i> Note that because the simulation is spread over more than one sheet, simulations must be run using the Green Running Man (Simulate...) button. They cannot be run using the CTRL+R option because this only appies to single sheet simulations. Note also that it is relatively simple to make up simulation components for things like switches, switched jacks, relays, motors and other devices that might be needed for simulation and PCB layout.

@andyfierman, Thanks for the detailed response. For now, my current project is straightforward enough that I can place it on one sheet, and then delete extraneous parts each time I import to the PCB. For more complicated projects this will become very tedious.

The trick with simulation is to not try to simulate the whole thing in one go. It's usually easier to get good simulation results from - and much easier to debug when you don't - smaller, "bite sized" simulations. There's an example of this approach in the EasyEDA Tesseract Guitar Practice Amplifier Schematic and PCB files and the separate simulation files project projects: ><https://easyeda.com/example/Tesseract_Guitar_Practice_Amp-MjP71jBni> ><https://easyeda.com/example/Tesseract_Guitar_Practice_Amp_simulation_files-H0ca8IFDB> :)
