Physical Hierarchy Generation
Generate Physical Hierarchy generates the physical hierarchy based on the configuration defined in the Configure Physical Hierarchy (CPH) window. It allows you to generate a physical hierarchy from the logical hierarchy in a schematic. It also creates soft layouts and soft abstracts in the layout canvas corresponding to the configuration view generated by CPH.
Choose Plan – Generate – Generate Physical Hierarchy to display the Generate Physical Hierarchy form. In this form, you can select the objects to be generated when the physical hierarchy is generated.
After generating the physical hierarchy, a summary report of the soft blocks generated by Generate Physical Hierarchy is displayed in CIW.
Automatic Physical Hierarchy Generation
The Plan – Generate – Auto Generate Hierarchy command enables you to quickly generate a physical hierarchy by applying common parameters. You can configure, specify bindings, and generate top blocks and soft blocks in the layout canvas. You can also use the command to define common boundary and pin parameters for the blocks you want to generate. In addition, the command enables you to specify the shape and size of the boundary that is created when the soft block is generated.
