METHODS, SYSTEMS, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM PRODUCTS FOR IMPLEMENTING AN ELECTRONIC DESIGN WITH PHYSICAL SIMULATION USING LAYOUT ARTWORK

Various techniques implement an electronic design with physical simulations using layout artwork. The approximate behaviors of the electronic design are determined. A region in the electronic design is identified. A first three-dimensional model is identified, if pre-existing, or generated, if non-existing, for the region in the electronic design. The behaviors of the region is determined using at least physics-based techniques or methodologies that are preconditioned upon at least a portion of the approximate behaviors determined for the electronic design.
