Abstract
Simulation results enhancement software method and system are disclosed. A partial simulation results data base that is produced by an interactive simulator is software enhanced, using full elemental characterizations from the modeling subsystem thereof, to produce a simulation completion results data base. The simulation completion results data base is suitable for post-simulation processing to enable the viewing or plotting of any dependent variable, or transform thereof, available from the modeling subsystem. A simulation-produced interim results data base provides, in association with a software co-processor, the capability of interrupting the simulation upon the occurrence of a user-defined event. Use of the enhancement software is illustrated in the context of analog circuit simulation, whereby voltage, current and power waveforms are made available to the user without unduly burdening the computer system on which the simulation software is executed.
