Interesting. Are you using something else to model and calculate values for the common base transistor diagram? Other than your brain, that is? ;-)
The question was not addressed to me, but I'll offer an opinion anyway :) With a circuit this simple there is no great need for a tool. For basic electronic circuits 10% accuracy is adequate. Consider these facts: 1. A (Si) transistor in active mode has a drop of 0.7v base to emmiter 2. Collector current is the same as emmiter current minus roughly 2% Plus the Ohm's law. Real easy to see what that circuit will do without even using pen and paper."For the rest of us" SPICE is a great and free tool that exists in many forms for many OSs.
