considerShortThreshold

lp considerShortThreshold boolean { t | nil }

Description

Considers resistor elements as connectors or short devices based on the threshold value of resistors specified in a setup file. The default value is t.

In a specific cellview, the parameter value of resistors is checked against the threshold value and are considered as short devices if their parameter value is less than the threshold value. If the parameter value is above the threshold value, the resistors are considered as connector elements. When there is no threshold value defined, the default behavior is that resistors are considered as short devices or connectors based on the category in which they are originally registered.

For example, for CellA, parameter r is checked for its value. A value lower than 50 is considered as a short. For CellB, parameter resVal is checked for its value. A value higher than 10 is considered as connector.
