Abstract
The present disclosure is directed to a method for extracting information for a circuit design. The method includes establishing a reflexive relationship between a plurality of design shapes corresponding to a plurality of circuit components in the circuit design. The method includes receiving a design change for at least one design shape of the plurality of design shapes. The method includes identifying a set of changed shapes, a set of affected shapes, and a set of involved shapes. The method includes extracting at least one of a capacitance, an inductance or a resistance for the updated circuit design based on at least one of the set of changed shapes, the set of affected shapes and the set of involved shapes. The method includes updating the plurality of circuit components in the circuit design based on at least one of the set of changed shapes and the set of affected shapes.
