Supply sensitive connect modules vs Dynamic connect modules

Hi,

I have below questions about supply sensitive and dynamic connect modules available in ADE ie card setup:

1. What are the major differences between supply sensitivity connect modules(connectLib.CR_ss*) vs dynamic connect modules (connectLib.CR_dynsup*)?

2.Is there a good tutorial/video/documentation available on how to setup dynamic connect modules in ADE? I couldn't find detailed info on support site. 

3.I know one advantage of dynamic connect modules is, they work well with SV language whereas "ss" connect modules only work with verilogams. Are there any other advantages of using dynamic connect modules if you only use verilogams language for modeling?

4. If I have two inverters in my design. One is in 1.2v domain and another one is 3.5v domain. Using supply sensitive connect modules, the same inverter verilogams model works for both inverter instances without any additional setup needed(apart from specifying supply sensitivity attributes inside verilogams model), however in order to use dynamic connect module, I need to use ie card setup and select both instances of inverter and specify "vsup" net in order for it to work? Is there easy way of achieving this? If I have many different instances connected to different power domains then I don't want to spend so much time setting up vsup value in ie card.

Thanks in advance.
