Abstract
A new system design tool receives a design representation from a designer, simulates it and compares the simulated operation of the design representation with the desired operation as provided by the operator and identifies causes of discrepancies therebetween. The redesign component performs redesign operations on the design representation in response to the discrepancies. The redesign component includes a plurality of redesign modules each including a redesign solution selection module which receives the identification of causes of discrepancies and the design representation and identifies a redesign solution in response thereto. Each redesign module, in turn, includes at least one redesign operator module which includes a plurality of redesign operators controlled by a redesign control module. The redesign operators each perform a redesign operation in connection with the design representation. The redesign control module, in turn, receives the redesign solution from the redesign solution selection module and sequentially enables selected redesign operators to carry out the redesign solution.
