1. A method for performing circuit analysis on a circuit design, comprising:
- determining instantiation paths for one or more design blocks of the circuit design;
recursively accumulating select information for each of the design blocks; and
applying instantiation characteristics to the accumulated information for each instance of the design blocks based upon instantiation hierarchy of the instance within the circuit design.

Abstract
Methods, systems, software products perform circuit analysis on a circuit design. Instantiation paths for one or more design blocks of the circuit design are determined. Select information is recursively accumulated for each of the design blocks. Instantiation characteristics are applied to the accumulated information for each instance of the design blocks based upon instantiation hierarchy of the instance within the circuit design.
