ABSTRACT:
A system and method for manipulating a netlist, at the time that the netlist is being created, to permit measurement of current flow through a net, or combination of nets, of a sub-circuit during a subsequent simulation process, the manipulation of the netlist including identifying nets through which current flow is to be measured, creating “artificial” nets for the identified nets, substituting the “artificial” nets for the identified nets in the netlist file, and connecting a power supply between the artificial net and the identified net for which it has been substituted.
