Claim:
1. A computer implemented method for generating an equivalent circuit model, the method comprising: receiving, in one or more computer-readable storage media, resistance, inductance, conductance, or capacitance (“RLGC”) parameters of a first segment of a layered structure of a specified length, the layered structure comprising a first conductive plane, a second conductive plane, and a first trace located between the first and second conductive planes; computing, using one or more data processors, a relationship between end currents or end voltages of the first segment based at least in part on the received RLGC parameters; generating, using the one or more data processors, at least one loading parameter representing electromagnetic coupling between the first conductive plane and the first trace; and generating, using the one or more data processors, a segment circuit model for the first segment of the layered structure based at least in part on the generated relationship and the at least one loading parameter.
