1. A method for designing an electronic device using a digital computer wherein a logical hierarchy comprising logical entities interconnected by signals is mapped into a physical hierarchy comprising physical packages, comprising the steps of:

  • designating partition group assertions for each of said logical entities, each of said partition group assertions corresponding to one of said physical packages;

    tracing the signals for each of said logical entities using said computer; and

    classifying each of said signals as either external or internal responsive to said tracing, said external classification corresponding to a signal connecting logical entities located on different physical packages and said internal classification corresponding to a signal connecting logical entities located on the same physical package.
