  • Method and apparatus for constructing a global interconnect model of a device having ambiguous submodule abutments
    Patent number: 6820247
    Abstract: A method for constructing a global interconnect model of a device having ambiguous abutments between submodules includes generating a discrete model for each of the submodules, identifying interconnections between the submodules, and defining a plurality of global abutment points for the interconnections between the submodules. Each global abutment point specifies a locus of interconnection points along at least a portion of a boundary of a particular one of the submodules. The discrete models are stitched together based on the global abutment points to construct a global model.
