I wasn't referring to the link, but to SPICE, which is a means of modelling circuitry using a computer in order to make theoretical measurements and performance predictions. SPICE was very expensive software not generally available to hobbyists until Linear Technology began to offer a version for free, named LTspice.
PSUD is almost certainly using some version of SPICE internally, but with a simpler and more limited user interface. Just as one example of its limitations, PSUD can't tell you the output impedance of a power supply over frequency. I consider this a critical characteristic, and I won't build a supply now without analyzing it in SPICE.
