  • Hi Kari, I am running powerEM using voltus. can you please differentiate between .pwr.rpt file created after report_power command and the vstorm power grid views generated (.cl). I read it through cadence support that .cl file contains RC parasitics, tap currents, geometries. Why do we need these views when we can use spef's for RC information, .ptiavg files for tap currents info, lef and def for geometries? Can you please explain what the tool does when the report_power and set_rail_analysis_mode commands are used? I am unable to relate the information I have with the runs I do.
