SOCEncounter is not fixing hold violation

Sowjanya

I see very strange behaviour with SOC Encounter tool.  It is not fixing hold violations

eventhough there is a huge positive slack on setup for  several paths.

 Log files gives following message: 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

 No cell added.  (Degrade setup) (No Legal Location).

  "setOptMode -fixHoldSearchRadius <num>" may change this number. By default <num> = 40

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 I am not able to find any description for "fixHoldSearchRadius" in encounter manual.

I experimented by giving a number of 500, but tool is taking the default number only.

 Did any of you guys face this problem?  What could it be ?

  •  Did you use cell padding on your flops to save this room for delay cells during hold fixing? If so, make sure you remove the cell padding (deleteAllCellPad) before trying to fix holds. Just a thought!
