Engineering.com’s roundup of simulation news for the week of Dec. 4/23.
Siemens’ EDA Simulation Tech Accessible to 1.3 Million New Users
1.1 million industrial customers and 1.3 million members with access to RS Groups’ DesignSpark Circuit Simulator platform now have access to Siemens PartQuest. The DesignSpark Circuit Simulator is a cloud-based platform that helps engineers design, model, simulate and assess electronic and mechatronic components. PartQuest is a cloud-based electronics design automation (EDA) circuit simulation tool for analog, digital, mixed-signal and multi-domain circuit design.

Explainable AI Comes to ESTECO Simulation Software
Engineering simulation software provider ESTECO has made an agreement with AI specialist Optimad to bring machine learning, reduced order modeling and explainable AI to its software suite. This includes the simulation process automation and design exploration software, modeFRONTIER, and the simulation process and data management software, VOLTA. These additions will help engineers employ a data-driven design approach, improve decision-making and better understand their designs.
Electromagnetic Simulation Tool Breaks Out of the Aerospace Industry
BETA CAE Systems is now able to distribute IMACS ASERIS-BE. This component of the ASERIS suite was co-developed with AIRBUS and is used in the aerospace and defense industry for electromagnetic compatibility assessments, antenna design, antenna sitting, high-intensity resisted field and lighting indirect effects. However, integrating this functionality into BETA technology will introduce ASERIS-BE to other industry sectors.
Ansys RaptorX Certified to Design Circuits Made with a New Samsung Manufacturing Process
Ansys’ on-chip electromagnetics solution RaptorX has now been certified for the 8nm LN08LPP Low Power Plus silicon process from Samsung. As a result, engineers designing chips in the 5G, WiFi, automotive and HPC sectors can assess the reliability, performance and circuit behavior of electronics produced by this new manufacturing process.
New Samsung Process Design Kit for Siemens EDA Technology
A new Samsung Foundry process design kit (PDK) is available for Siemens Digital Industries Software’s Calibre DesignEnhancer software, a recent addition to the EDA Calibre nmPlatform. The Calibre DesignEnhancer software helps engineers use models to optimize chip layout and robustness while keeping design cycles to a minimum. The new PDK helps engineers better simulate circuits produced by the Foundry’s latest processes.
