A method of extracting capacitance from a layout record includes imposing voltages on conductors in a layout record, and determining a total charge for each of the conductors to obtain a capacitor element for the conductors. A method of extracting capacitance from a layout record includes matching a configuration of conductors in a layout record against a reference pattern, and determining an extracted capacitance for the conductors based at least in part on the reference pattern. A method of extracting capacitance from a layout record includes providing a layout record of a circuit design, the layout record having data representing conductors and metal fill, and extracting capacitance to determine a set of capacitors between the conductors, the set of capacitors accounting for the metal fill.
