LVS complaining about lower level hierarchal design

Senan

Hello,

I am at the chip level verification when the Assura LVS started to complain about mismatching in the lower level hierarchal design. To make it clear my highest chip-level design has four blocks connected together and to the PAD frame. The LVS complained about mismatching inside block1. 

However, I never go to higher-level design without checking the LVS of the individual blocks and performing the post-layout simulation on the extracted view. So for me, I already passed successfully the LVS and parasitic extraction of the block 1 with no error, why the LVS is complaining about it in the next level?

Since I am sure and confident about my design blocks, I may need to have a type of LVS that will not propagate to the lower hierarchal. only check the top level, I am not sure if the called LVS black box.

Thank you in advance for your help

Best Regards
