Abstract
A method of simulating a design of an electronic system having multiple layers includes, for each layer, storing a plurality of shape occurrences for the layer. A hierarchy of shape instances having a plurality of levels is generated. Each shape instance corresponds to one of the shape occurrences. A hierarchy of shadow instances having a plurality of levels is generated.
