ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method are disclosed which determine locations where verification data should exist in a circuit representation and then propagates verification or circuit properties within a circuit representation. For a hierarchical representation of a circuit, a minimum number of modified circuit entities are created and added to the hierarchical representation such that pertinent critical net and property information is represented at each hierarchical level.
