1. A computer-implemented method for performing a simulation within an electronic design automation (EDA) application, comprising: simulating multiple versions of a circuit design to obtain multiple values of a parameter, wherein each value of the parameter corresponds to a version of the circuit design, and wherein the multiple versions of the circuit design are created as the circuit design is modified over time; associating the multiple versions of the circuit design with corresponding multiple values of the parameter; displaying a plot of the multiple values of the parameter versus time using a graphical user interface (GUI), wherein the plot illustrates an impact on the parameter as the circuit design is modified over time; receiving a selection of a value of the parameter using the GUI; and accessing a version of the circuit design that corresponds to the selected value of the parameter.
