read_activity_file how to define tcf_scope

Hi

I am using TCF file produced by ncvlog to estimate power in RC and Encounter.

In RC every thing works great, I just call read_tcf command and it reads the tcf file produced during simulation and performs annotation and calculates power

In Encounter (first performed simulation on the generated verilog netlist by encounter and produced tcf), Exactly Nothing Works! read_activity_file always reports that it can not perform annotation 

In the help of read_activity_file there is no example of how I should load the TCF file and how i should define this tcf_scope and tcf_block parameters

Why it is so simply working in RC and Encouter can't recognize the hierarchy?
