    if you mean the .ptiavg file, those are generated when you run report_power. They are binary files that contain the power consumption info for all the instances in the design, and they are used by rail analysis for IR drop, EM, etc.

    The .pp is the file that lists the voltage sources in xy format. You can create it by hand, or have it generated with autofetch. See the user guide for more details.
