Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for performing a simulation of an integrated circuit, integrated circuit package, or printed circuit board design. A representation of the design is accessed that includes a plurality of components inside a volume. The volume is discretized into a plurality of volumetric elements. A removable signal transmission element is identified in the volume. The signal transmission element is removed from the volume. An electrical parameter associated with the removed signal transmission element is identified. A finite element method operation is performed to identify a characteristic of the design based on the discretized volume having the signal transmission element removed and the electrical parameter, an electrical impact of the signal transmission element on the package being retained based on the electrical parameter.
