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

Abstract
The present invention is a method and system for schematically embedding wire model objects into a schematic design of an integrated circuit. The method includes estimating a wiring routing geometry for each signal path in the circuit, selecting one or more cascading wire model objects (“WMOs”) for each segment in each geometry, and substituting each signal path with the respective one or more WMOs.
