Chris,

If you want to simulate PDN SSN, you can do either a
transistor-level SPICE simulation together with the PDN
model, or an approximate behavioral model simulation can
be done.  For smaller circuits, transistor level models may
work in SPICE (if you have access to it).  For large chunks
of silicon, like CPU cores and sophisticated IO circuits, the
SPICE model may be prohibitively large.  Also, for many
users of third-party silicons, transistor-level SPICE model
may not be available.  For the above reasons, behavioral
simulations may still be better than doing no simulations at all
