Modeling and simulation tools enable more rapid exploration of the superconducting quantum circuit parameter space than would be possible with fabrication and measurement alone. A variety of promising modeling schemes for these circuits have been proposed but their scalability and validity for many qubit systems has not been demonstrated. We give a detailed discussion of a superconducting circuit modeling technique that allows for rapid simulation of several qubits. We compare the predictions made by this and several other models to the measured parameters of many qubits. We evaluate these models in terms of their accuracy and resource requirements and discuss their utility for designing many-qubit systems.
