What is a ''behavioral'' file format? What is a RLGC matrix? Thanks, --[[User:Abdull|Abdull]] ([[User talk:Abdull|talk]]) 19:27, 25 June 2008 (UTC)
A behavioral model is one that simply shows the behavior of the chip (or whatever). This contrasts with a real circuit model, which has models for individual transistors and other circuit elements and they are "connected" together as in the real chip. The reason to use a behavioral model is it's much faster than circuit simulation. The reason companies want you to use a behavioral model is because they don't want to reveal their circuit design, that's their IP; a behavioral model does not reveal the circuitry that causes the behavior.

The generic term for the opposite of a behavioral model is a structural model. JosephScha correctly identifies a circuit model as the structural alternative to a behavioral simulation model for electronics. I (the current chair of the IBIS Open Forum) intend to update this page soon and am open to any other advice people have. --[[User:MikeLaBonte|MikeLaBonte]] ([[User talk:MikeLaBonte|talk]]) 16:32, 10 October 2017 (UTC)
