reporting multicut via

Does any one know the command to dump out the number of multicut vias in a design using nanoroute (Encounter).

    You should see a couple of lines in the log like the following:

    #Total number of vias = 1928911
    #Total number of multi-cut vias = 918149 ( 47.6%)

    Thanks kari.Currently we are doing the same. We are looking into the log file of nanoroute to grep for the number of multicut vias .  But wanted to know if given a routed database is there any command which could dump out the same info.

    There's a gift script that comes with your FE install : userRptViaStats.tcl This dumps via counts to the cmd window for all vias individually (regular & special). You can source and run this as part of your batch run script, or in FE after restoring a routed db.
    You could tweak the gift script a bit to get what you want.

    Skip special nets so you don't get the power grid via arrays...
    if [dbIsNetSpecial $netId] { puts "Skip Special Net: $netName"
    ....

    Add some statements to get number of cuts in each via as it loops though the route segments...
    set xCuts [lindex [dbInfoViaCellRegularCuts $viaPtr] 4]
    set yCuts [lindex [dbInfoViaCellRegularCuts $viaPtr] 5]

    Then only list the multi-cut vias...
    if {$xCuts > 1 || $yCuts > 1} {
    incr multCutViaCount
    if [info exists viaList($viaName)] {
    ....

    If you want the script output to go to both the command window and the log file, you need to change the "puts " to "Puts" (use Upper-case P)...
    Puts "Total Multi-Cut Vias: $multiCutVias"

    Thanks! Rich, your post indirectly helps me a lot!

    I have been tried to find way to iterate all the vias in SOCE until the day I see your post.

    Many thanks!!

    Is this script complete?

    I need a full script if possible.
