Methods, systems, and articles for implementing extraction and electrical analysis-driven module creation

An article of manufacture comprising a non-transitory computer accessible memory storing thereupon a sequence of instructions which, when executed by at least one processor, causes the at least one processor to perform a method for implementing electrically aware simulation, the method comprising:

• using at least one processor to perform a process the process comprising:
• initiating a module creation session that is to create a physical module;
• extracting physical data from a partial layout of an electronic design that includes the physical module and storing the physical data in a first location of computer memory;
• transferring the physical data to a schematic simulator by mapping at least a part of the physical data in a physical namespace into a schematic namespace data and storing the schematic namespace data in a second location of the computer memory;
• performing, with the at least one processor, a layout-aware schematic simulation with schematic namespace data mapped from the physical data to generate and store schematic simulation results, wherein the schematic simulator is made aware of at least the physical data in performing the layout-aware simulation;
• and
• revising a schematic design of the electronic design in the schematic namespace with the schematic simulation results.
