RC Physical Flow - Spare Module

Yemelya

Hello,

I am trying to convert the conventional RC-Encounter flow to RC-Physical.

Since the placement is loaded through the DEF file generated by RC-Physical script, there is no more need  to run "placeDesign" or "place_opt_design" commands; and "placeSpareModule" instruction in Encounter runs immediately and spreads randomly all the spare cells across the placed floorplan, without localizing them in spare modules, as it was done by the "old fashion" flow.

Is there a way to keep Spare Modules placement for RC-Physical flow as it was done for the RC conventional flow (spare modules distributed evenly, but spare cells inside the modules are localized)?

Thanks again and best regards!

Boris
