ABSTRACT:
A method for analyzing a circuit design in preparation for a simulation. The method generally includes the steps of (A) marking each of a plurality of modules between a target module of the modules and a top module of the modules in a hierarchy of the circuit design as a first type by traversing upward through the hierarchy starting from the target module, (B) marking each of the modules as a second type where a parent module of the modules is marked as the first type by traversing downward through the hierarchy starting from the top module and (C) marking each of the modules as a third type where the parent module is not marked as the keep type by traversing downward through the hierarchy starting from the top module.
