[INNOVUS] Automatic Placement with Hierarchal "Top Down" design?

TomBradyVLSI

Hi,

Anyone know how to automatically place the module blocks for hierchal design?


I've tried to use the "proto_design" command but I get an error (IMPFM - 760) stating that "The design has no flexmodel, please specify planDesign seeds in a constraint file and do proto_design - constraints."


I can't figure out how to create a constraints file. Is there a way to automatically generate one with the GUI? Also, how to create a flexmodel for "planDesign"?

    If you want to place macros automatically then you will need to use an Innovus functionality called Mixed placer. I think you will need an extra license for this, though.
