RS Group’s cloud-based DesignSpark Circuit Simulator platform to use Siemens Tech.
The 1.3-million-member community and 1.1 million industrial customers of RS Group’s cloud-based DesignSpark Circuit Simulator platform—used for the design, modeling, simulation and analysis of electronic and mechatronic components—will gain access to Siemens Digital Industries Software’s electronic design automation (EDA) technology. The specific tool that made the cut after RS Group’s extensive technical evaluation is Siemens’ PartQuest, a cloud-based circuit simulation tool for analog, digital, mixed-signal and multi-domain circuit design.

The EDA technology is added to the DesignSpark platform, which aims to offer engineers a single environment to design, model, simulate and assess circuits and electronic systems. Mike Bray, vice president of Innovation for DesignSpark at RS Group, clarified in a release, “Our DesignSpark Circuit Simulator, available now, has the right set of tools to help our extensive community improve productivity and deliver innovation faster. Siemens demonstrated they have the cutting-edge cloud technology we need to help us achieve our vison.”
AJ Incorvaia, senior vice president of Electronic Board Systems at Siemens Digital Industries Software, added that “DesignSpark Circuit Simulator offers robust circuit design and simulation resources to a DesignSpark community eager for advanced technology and solutions that help realize more end products in a collaborative environment that facilitates peer-to-peer knowledge sharing.”
