1. A non-transitory machine readable medium storing executable program instructions which when executed by a data processing system cause the data processing system to perform a method, the method comprising:
receiving one or more inputs that specify a selected set of victims in a design of an electrical circuit;
determining a corresponding set of aggressors for each victim based on the selected set of victims; and
performing incremental dynamic voltage drop simulation computing operations limited to a portion of the design that includes the selected set of victims and the corresponding set of aggressors without performing computing operations for instances of the design not included in the set of victims and the corresponding set of aggressors.
