Overview

Configuration

• Function Analysis Module for Design Specifications
• Case Retrieval Module
• Case Modification Module
• Circuit Block Diagram Output Module

Function

• Functional hierarchy trees, that represents functional structures of design objects, are created interactively and used as indices for case retrieval.
• Structure Mapping Engine (SME) retrieves the cases whose functional structures are similar to the design object's.
• To shorten run-time, cases are retrieved parallel. The structures of the design object and cases are mapped into each processor in good balance.
• System verifies detail specs of retrieved cases, modifies them, recovers design failures with SME, and dembines circuit blocks.
