Patent ID: 7318212

Claim:
A method for modeling an interconnection wiring routing having a known geometry, the method comprising defining a wire model strategy and automatically replacing said wiring routing geometry in a circuit schematic with one or more wire model objects based on said wire model strategy, wherein said wiring routing geometry is defined by a cluster consisting of one or more source points and one or more target points and by segments interconnecting said points in a known path, and wherein the wire model strategy comprises selecting one or more wire model objects based on a predefined set of selection rules, and replacing one or more of said segments and/or paths with said one or more selected wire model objects, wherein the wire model strategy comprises inserting the selected wire model objects into the wiring routing geometry per groups of sequential of said segments, wherein further comprising summing the length of said sequential segments along one or more, not overlapping, of said paths between corresponding pairs of said source and target points, and, for each of said pairs of points, inserting therebetween a selected wire model object.
