A method for simulating a power consumption associated with a circuit. Once a netlist describing the circuit and an input stimulus for the netlist are obtained, the netlist is partitioned into multiple circuit blocks. Circuit logic models (CLMs) implemented in a hardware description language (HDL) are then obtained for the multiple circuit blocks and a logic netlist is generated from the multiple CLMs. A power vector for a CLM corresponding to a circuit block is calculated using a logic simulator inputting the logic netlist and the input stimulus. Further, a power consumption value is calculated for the circuit block using a circuit simulator and the power vector. The power consumption associated with the circuit is calculated based on the power consumption values for various circuit blocks.
