At the risk of sounding like a broken record, you might want to take a
look of CAZM, the simulator built by the Microelectronics Center of
North Carolina. It's a LOT faster than SPICE (roughly 10X) and gives
very similar results. It uses SPICE models and circuit descriptions but
has a considerably nicer command language. It also has better convergence
behavior. I think they now support the kinds of devices you mentioned.
