Hi,
I've a question regarding constraining a design for area instead of timing using design compiler. I've given 'set_max_area' set to a value of 0 to get the minimum area. but, obviously, the design will consume some area. so, when i try to read the reports, it says that the constraint is violated by so much of area. so, whats the solution for this ?

do i iteratively change the design constraint to the value shown in the report and run incremental mapping? is this the usual procedure ?
