Abstract
A system, a method and a computer program product for analyzing a circuit design provide for discretizing the circuit design into a series of pixels. A fraction of at least one constituent material is determined for each pixel. A deflection is also determined for each pixel. The deflection is predicated upon a planarizing of the pixel, and it is calculated while utilizing an algorithm that includes the fraction of the at least one constituent material. A series of deflections for the series of pixels may be mapped and evaluated.
