rc extraction cadence

Hi, I have used soc encounter for place and route. Now I need to use nanosim for further timing and power simulation. How do I do RC extraction? I know that I can import GDS files into virtuoso and do RC extraction there. Is there any better ways?

Thanks very much!

rc extraction procedure in cadence

there are several ways
U can use StarRC to extract RC.
U can use Fire&Ice to perform it
also u can use EXT to do it.
Maybe some another kind to can also perform this work. but I do not trust it!

cadence rc extraction

You can export the DEF file and extract it in StarXCT if you have synopsys license.
Or using Encounter QRC if you have that license.
