Oblong Pads Placed on Bottom( using Allegro 17.2) show short circuit on the PowerDC tool.

Hi, 

I have no idea how this happens. Oblong pads placed on the bottom side do not show any errors on Allegro, but while using the PowerDC tool for the DC analysis, the tool shows the short circuit on the bottom layer between the pads. 

For example, lets assume i have a capacitor footprint which uses oblong pads. These oblong pads are connected to one another when imported on to the PowerDC(Cadence Sigrity 2018) tool and show up as short circuit. 

Has anyone else encountered same issue ? Any help would be appreciated. 

Thanks

Bala Maruthi
