Abstract

A mechanism for integrating simulators into CAD systems has been implemented in order to provide high-performance interaction during the course of a design. This mechanism replaces slow text-based interfaces by a persistent programming technique where the database is viewed as an extension of dynamically allocated memory. Organization of simulation data and implementation of the interface mechanism are described.
