I have the trial version of SystemModeler.  I'm trying to model a simple 
electronic filter circuit.  I was able to get a model working showing the 
spectrum of this filter with Electronic Workbench in about 15 minutes.  Then 
I decided to try SystemModeler to see if it could also do this model.  I was 
hoping I could use some of the Mathematica manipulate and plot routines to 
see how changing some of the components modified the spectrum.  This has not 
been easy and I have yet to get a spectrum out of it after several weeks of 
trying.  What one would normally do is to use a voltage source that sweeps 
through a defined range of frequencies to get the spectrum.  There is no 
source like this in SystemModeler that I have been able to find, and I've 
spent a lot of time looking.  The closest I have gotten is to get a step 
response which could be converted to a spectrum with a Fourier transform. 
However, I don't see any way to get to a transform in SystemModeler.  This 
system is hard to use.  It requires first setting up the model, then running 
a simulation, then finally going into Mathematica.  This is three different 
programs.  The routines in the Mathematica part seem to be limited.  Maybe 
there is a way to get the simulation into a useable form, but I'm running 
out of patience.  I don't plan to purchase this program.
