1. A method for schematically embedding wire model objects into a schematic design of an integrated circuit, comprising:
- a) estimating a wiring routing geometry for each signal path in said circuit;
b) selecting one or more cascading wire model objects (“
WMOs”
) for each segment in each geometry; and
c) substituting each signal path with the respective one or more WMOs.
