Claim One:
1. A method for producing a cell library for use with a logic simulation apparatus, said cell library including information on a plurality of cells, each cell having a function represented in accordance with a truth table model as a combination of a plurality of patterns, each pattern including an input signal and an output signal, and method comprising the steps of: providing the information of each cell to the logic simulation apparatus; determining whether the input signal of the patterns of the cell include edge signals including a rising edge signal or a falling edge signal; selecting the patterns that are determined to include the edge signals; separating the selected patterns from the truth table model of the cell; developing each of the selected patters into two associated patterns, the two associated patterns include associated input signals different from each other in level in accordance with the edge signals; and adding a virtual memory to each of the developed associated patterns.
