Defining Operating Conditions in PD using SoC Encounter

[pavi622]

I am using SoC encounter for project. i wan to introduce operating conditions into the flow.
I want to know,
1. How these operating conditions are defined?
2. Is it dependent on synthesis & RTL?
3. On what basis these operating conditions are decided

Also . what is the difference between prePD and postPD netlist?

1. using setOptCond command.
2. No i think.
3. Normally best case and worst case operating condition is used for SoC Encounter do timing optimization of setup and hold.
4. Post-PD netlist has complete clock tree structure and so more accurate timing analysis with wire capacitance.
Thanks.

am aware of that timing operating conditions.
Apart form that if i want to define any other operating condition.
how to go about it
