Patent ID: 7107198

Claim:
A method for automatic generation of a reduced size circuit model having inductive interaction properties, comprising: generating a sparse magnetic matrix comprising a first set of data using an inductive interaction algorithm, wherein each nonzero element in the first set of data represents a current entry of a conductor segment of a circuit; generating a sparse electrical matrix comprising a second set of data using the inductive interaction algorithm, wherein each nonzero element in the second set of data represents at least one voltage entry of the conductor segment of the circuit; translating the first set of data to at least one current controlled auxiliary circuit representing coupling inductances in the conductor segment; translating the second set of data to at least one voltage controlled auxiliary circuit representing coupling inductances in the conductor segment; and generating the reduced size circuit model by operatively connecting the current controlled auxiliary and voltage controlled auxiliary circuits to an original circuit model of the circuit, wherein data sets comprise groups.
