Abstract
Circuits may be designed using computer aided design tools and may comprise a plurality of different possible variants of individual components. These multi-variant component circuits may be validated to identify potential problems by generating an aggregate parametric model for the multi-variant components and then using the aggregate parametric model in applying tests to different connection networks of the circuit definition.
