Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for electronic design simulation comprising: providing, using at least one computing device, an electronic design; associating, using the at least one computing device, one or more identifiers with each constraint solver call utilized in a simulation of the electronic design; automatically generating, using the at least one computing device, a coverage model for one of more constraints associated with the electronic design, the coverage model being based upon, at least in part, the one or more identifiers associated with each constraint solver call; extracting a constraint solve from at least one of the constraint solver calls; stimulating the extracted constraint solve a plurality of times to generate a plurality of sets of values, wherein running is not based upon the coverage model; determining how many sets of unique values are generated; loading one or more the simulating results into the coverage model; generating a simulation report including simulation results associated with the coverage model; displaying the simulation report at one or more computing devices; and providing, at a graphical user interface, a user-selectable display configured to allow a user to visualize a portion of the simulation, the portion based upon, at least in part, the user selection of at least one of the one or more identifiers associated with each constraint solver call.
