15 years agoI understand that the old simulation environment was easier for teaching purposes. You start with something 'simple' and don't need to explain test bench during the first lesson.
Unfortunately simple in this case can also mean unsafe. The students need to understand, from the beginning, that spending some time to set a propoer simulation environment (test bench) is at lease as important as designing the circuit. Using a proper simulation environment prevents from taking bad designing habits that are difficult to remove.
