Arpad,

I apologize for not stating my question more clearly.

I work with ASICs, so my involvement with IBIS is generating IBIS models
for I/O using HSPICE simulations. For our purposes, we don't generate
models on the chip scale with package parameters because the packages
and buffer pinout change from project to project.
What I am looking for are leads to investigate what tools are available
to simulatate using IBIS models and/or assist in the tasks of verifying
that the models we generate. I am trying to make sure our IBIS models
are usable by our customers as well as accurate.

I do use HSPICE to do some IBIS model simulations, but I am interested
at looking at other tools as well.
