Abstract

A system and method for removing T-point elements with unused stubs from a printed circuit board (PCB) layout design obtains each signal line including one or more T-point elements in the PCB layout design, divides the obtained signal line into a plurality of lines according to the one or more T-point elements with unused stubs, and obtains properties of each of the plurality of lines. The system and method further deletes the original layout of the signal line and reconnects the plurality of lines according to the properties of each of the plurality of lines to generate a reconnected signal line, and outputs the reconnected signal line on a display device.
