Siemens Digital Industries Software announced that the RS Group has selected Siemens as its strategic electronic design automation (EDA) provider for its new, cloud native, DesignSpark Circuit Simulator tool, which empowers users to streamline the design process.

After an extensive technical evaluation of available solutions, RS selected the Siemens PartQuest software – a cloud-based circuit simulation tool supporting analogue, digital, mixed-signal and multi-domain designs – as the enabling technology to power the latest generation of its DesignSpark Circuit Simulator tools. DesignSpark delivers a comprehensive environment to design, model, simulate and analyse electronic and mechatronic circuits and systems for the 1,3 million members of the DesignSpark engineering community.

“The RS DesignSpark vision is to educate, influence, promote and enable engineers to design responsibly for a better world,” said Mike Bray, vice president of Innovation for DesignSpark, RS Group. “Our DesignSpark Circuit Simulator has the right set of tools to help our extensive community improve productivity and deliver innovation faster. Siemens demonstrated that it has the cutting-edge cloud technology we need to help us achieve our vison.”

“Siemens is pleased to have been chosen by RS as a key technology partner for its DesignSpark platform,” said AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president of Electronic Board Systems at Siemens Digital Industries Software. “The DesignSpark Circuit Simulator offers robust circuit design and simulation resources to a DesignSpark community eager for advanced technology and solutions that help realise more end products in a collaborative environment that facilitates peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.”
