Various computer-implemented methods are provided. One method for evaluating reticle layout data includes generating a simulated image using the reticle layout data as input to a model of a reticle manufacturing process. The simulated image illustrates how features of the reticle layout data will be formed on a reticle by the reticle manufacturing process. The method also includes determining manufacturability of the reticle layout data using the simulated image. The manufacturability is a measure of how accurately the features will be formed on the reticle. Also provided are various carrier media that include program instructions executable on a computer system for performing a method for evaluating reticle layout data as described herein. In addition, systems configured to evaluate reticle layout data are provided. The systems include a computer system and a carrier medium that includes program instructions executable on the computer system for performing method(s) described herein.
