Method and device for automatic analysis of a circuit diagram

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for automatic analysis of a circuit diagram, comprising: applying one or more filters to a circuit diagram for recognizing a circuit symbol defined by the respective filter in the circuit diagram; applying one or more detectors to the circuit diagram for recognizing connections between the circuit symbols; determining those recognized circuit symbols which are coupled to one another by means of the recognized connections; and for each of the recognized circuit symbols, storing an indication in a data structure of the recognized circuit symbol of each further circuit symbol coupled to this recognized circuit symbol. Furthermore, a corresponding device is described.
