An eye pattern is generated by: simulating a rising step response to a rising step signal input into the circuit and a falling step response to a falling step signal input into the circuit; analyzing a result of the simulating of the rising step response and the falling step response; generating, on the basis of a result of the analyzing, an upper-part test pattern that defines a shape of an upper part of an eye of an eye pattern and a lower-part test pattern that defines a shape of a lower part of the eye of the eye pattern; and simulating a response to the upper-part test pattern and the lower-part test pattern both input into the circuit. This procedure rapidly generates a precise eye pattern.

A design-change-target-circuit detecting unit inputs circuit information including an element model describing an electronic circuit to detect an electronic circuit using a changed element model. A determining unit compares a characteristic of an element model before change and that of the element model after change. An analysis-necessity deciding unit decides whether waveform analysis is necessary, and when determining that waveform analysis is necessary, makes an instruction for waveform analysis of the electronic circuit using the element model after change. Furthermore, after the determination-necessity deciding unit determines that waveform analysis of the electronic circuit using the element model after change is not necessary and design requirement conditions of the electronic circuit including the element model after change are changed from those before change, an instruction for pass/fail determination as to whether existing waveform analysis results satisfy the design requirement conditions after change is made to cause the instruction to be executed.

The apparatus comprises the syntax checking section that checks the syntax of a device model according to a check table showing the relation between the syntax of the device model showing electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device and an amendment when deviating from the syntax. The syntax error amendment creating section corrects the device model according to a corresponding amendment when a description deviating from the syntax is checked by the syntax checking section.

In a simulation considering a skin effect, a signal conductor is vertically and horizontally divided by faces parallel to the surface of the signal conductor, which are set so that intervals are smaller as the faces are nearer to the surface, and larger as the faces are farther from the surface. Also a ground conductor is vertically divided with a similar method, and an integration calculation is made, so that the resistance of the signal conductor, which corresponds to a given frequency, is obtained.
