There is disclosed a logic simulator having a wiring load extraction function which is capable of accurately calculating characteristic data of wiring loads when wirings are shortly spaced. A wiring region dividing unit (1) and a wiring load model generator (3) convert a wiring layout data (D10) into a wiring load model circuit data (D12) including wiring load models respectively for divided wiring regions into which a wiring is divided as a function of the number of adjacent wirings. A wiring load distributed constant calculator (4) extracts characteristic parameters in accordance with the number of adjacent wirings of each of the wiring load models in the circuit data (D12) from a unit length wiring characteristic parameter group (D13) including different characteristic parameters in accordance with the number of adjacent wirings, to output a distributed constant circuit data (D14) including the characteristic data of the respective wiring load models as a function of the characteristic parameters and the wiring lengths of the respective wiring load models. This enables the characteristic data of the wiring loads to be calculated with high accuracy.
