Analytical simulator and analytical simulation method and program

An analytical simulation method for designing and analyzing a device, comprising:

• a design process of designing the device based on predetermined design data including design specification data;
• a device producing process of producing the device based on the design in the design process;
• a test result receiving process of receiving results of a test on the device as an object to be analyzed;
• and
• an analysis process of comparing each test result with an expected output value of the object to be analyzed, where the expected output value is calculated in the design process, and determining a range including a defective portion in the object to be analyzed, based on results of the comparison.

An analytical simulation program for designing and analyzing a device, the program making a computer execute an operation comprising:

• a design step of designing the device based on predetermined design data including design specification data;
• a test result receiving step of receiving results of a test on the device as an object to be analyzed, where the device is designed in the design step and is produced based on the design;
• and
• an analysis step of comparing each-test result with an expected output value of the object to be analyzed, where the expected output value is calculated in the design step, and determining a range including a defective portion in the object to be analyzed, based on results of the comparison.
