encounter Digital Implementation system tool - layout issue

hon cheong

I have two questions regarding the encounter Digital Implementation system tool.

1. Using the digital implementation system tool, after doing floorplanning, place and route, the layout view for the standard cells are in abstract form. how can I view the layout view of those standard cells?
(I have include .lib and .lef files in the digital implementation system tool prior to synthesis).

2.If I want to import the layout to virtuoso from encounter digital implementation tool, I first save the synthesis result in DEF file format. In the DEF In dialog box, I am required to fill in "used Ref Library Names".
While I am using IBM process and found the .lef and .lib files in the "ARM_IBM_130nm8RF_4.0 " folder, I am unable to find any other DFII library that contains all the standard cells. Is that supposed to have one library that contains all the layout views of the standard cells?

Thank you.

Regards,
Hon Cheong

     Hi,

    It's possible that the library vendor does not provide a complete design kit for the university setting. Can you contact the library vendor and ask about this? 

    As I said, I don't have any experience with OA, so I'm not sure what files to tell you to look for. Check the Cadence documentation for something regarding Design Import with OA. Maybe someone with some OA experience can chime in here and help?
