Hi Xu Tailong,

hspiceS is oder than hspiceD. HspiceS is an interface only that starts the standalone HSPICE tool. So it cannot simulate without a standalone HSPICE tool installed. However, the hspiceD is HSPICE tool which is integrated into the cadence software package.

Look forward to the comments about other tools.
