Abstract
A simulation method to be implemented in a computer causes the computer to execute a procedure carrying out a weighting with respect to layout parameters of a circuit, which is an analyzing target, based on priority information of cells forming the circuit, and converting the weighted layout parameters into physical characteristics and storing the physical characteristics in a memory part, a procedure converting the physical characteristic read from the memory part into circuit parameters and storing the circuit parameters into the memory part, and analyzing the circuit based on a net list including the circuit parameters read from the memory part.
