In the Virtuoso automated device placement and routing flow, device placement is done after initializing the layout and generating the required constraints and tracks. The Virtuoso automated device placement and routing flow supports two placement models:
- Automatic Placement: Devices are placed by running the Virtuoso device-level automatic placer.
- Interactive Placement: Devices are placed semi-automatically. Depending on the placement needs and the complexity of the design, you can first run the Virtuoso device-level automatic placer and then use the interactive placement options to refine the placement.
