1. A computer-implemented method for performing analysis upon an electronic design, comprising:
- receiving incomplete design data for an electronic design, which includes an incomplete electronic component design that is to be created in the electronic design, and information related to 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 determination for at least the incomplete electronic component design to generate a set of results data, whereinthe set of results data comprises simplification of one or more geometries that are not yet created for the incomplete design data rather than all geometric information of the one or more geometries; and
performing predictions of manufacturing effects for the electronic design for the manufacturing process before creation of the incomplete electronic component design, whereinthe incomplete design data is not sent in its entirety 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).
