1. A computer-implemented method for performing analysis upon an electronic design, comprising:
- receiving design data for an electronic design and information about one or more models corresponding to a manufacturing process to be applied to manufacture the electronic design;
using a computer processor to perform model parameter extraction upon the design data to generate a set of results data, wherein the results data comprises a simplification of the design data, the results data being displayed to a user on a display device or stored in a volatile or nonvolatile storage medium in a data structure that is configured for the results data; and
passing the results data that comprises the simplification of the design data to be used to perform predictions of manufacturing effects for the electronic design for the manufacturing process, wherein the entirety of the design data is not passed to perform the predictions.

Abstract
Disclosed is a method, system, and computer program product for performing predictions for an electronic design. Embodiments of the invention allow the ability to efficiently update the model predictions at a later time once previously incomplete blocks are completed. Predictions can be efficiently updated after block designs are updated (e.g. after correcting problems detected from model predictions).
