Abstract
A system and method for programmatically adding pads and ports and altering design logic at the terminals of electronic circuit designs is provided. In a preferred embodiment the system and method are implemented within a system that partitions arbitrary designs but the system and method may be used by itself to add terminal logic. Patterns and connections of removable logic of the internal circuitry can be specified by a user or by system default settings stored in an external file.
