how to define a specific corner in the setup

Hi,

Due to my application, I would like to define a corner group comprising the following combinations

1. FET_FF, RES_FF, CAP_FF

2. FET_SS, RES_SS, CAP_SS

3. FET_FS, RES_TYP, CAP_TYP

4. FET_SF, RES_TYP, CAP_TYP

The classical way will create 16 corners in total, in which there are 12 corners are not needed. 

Is there any efficient way to define such a corner group? Maybe a customerized model?

    Assuming these are different sections of a model file, you can do that with the Model Groups section of the Corners tool - use the "Click to Add" and then define four different model group names. You can then in a corner reference all four of the model groups in the same corner - and so it will then use all four combinations.

    The corners tool doesn't support the concept of "parametric set" grouped corners (there's an enhancement request for the) - to do the same as parametric sets when you have defined all 16 combinations, you have to expand the corners into separate corners, which is not really what you want.
