[sdiy] Becoming better at understanding difficult analog schematics

[Jay Schwichtenberg]

I wouldn't recommend noobs using simulation without them having some 
understanding of it. Main reason without knowing how it works they 
assume that a simulation is going to give you the perfect answer or 
close to it.

To get good simulations you really need to know what you are doing and 
more than likely make your own models. A lot of the models for 
components are simple and don't go into the details of the components. 
So that can make a big difference in the simulation.

There are things like noise, power supply ripple, transmission lines, 
PCB layout ... that you have to manually add to get really good 
simulations that they have no idea how to do.
