Global Placement in Encounter 6.2

archive

Hi all, I am relatively new to the Encounter tool. I am using Encounter v6.2 to place a simple design. I am trying to access the results of Encounter's global placement (before overlap removal) but am not sure if I can run just Global Placement using any of the text commands. I am assuming that Encounter does placement in 2 steps - global and detailed, as the text command reference manual mentions these stages. I noticed a "-fp" option and tried it. It seems to place the macros but does not show the standard cells in the core, although the log shows Wire-length and Area statistics. Can anyone tell me what is the result of "placeDesign -fp" command? Is it the result of global placement (Quadratic WL-optimization w/o overlap removal) using NanoPlace? Thanks a lot, Prad.
