Cluster Functions

Cluster objects are used to specify and track a logical association of instances and other clusters within a cellview. They are hierarchical in nature as one cluster can have one or more other clusters as members. Every cluster can also have a set of associated cluster boundaries. A cluster accepts an instance member provided it resides in the same cellview as the cluster and does not already belong to another cluster. A cluster accepts another cluster as a member provided it resides in the same cellview, does not already belong to another cluster, is not an ancestor of its parent, and is not the same cluster as itself.

This topic provides a list of Cadence® SKILL functions associated with clusters.

Only the functions listed here are supported for public use. All other functions, regardless of their name or prefix, and undocumented aspects of the functions described below, are private and are subject to change at anytime.
