I'm using synopsys DC to synthesize a design, the compilation finishes with no errors, also all warnings are reasonable (unconnected signals and so).

the problem is when I check the verilog netlist I find GTECH cells! most cells are mapped to library cells as normal, but there are some unmapped GTECH cells (basic AND2/XOR2/INV cells) and some **SEQGEN** cells (I don't know what are these). why does this happen? at first I though my library was missing some cells which would cause this problem, but then in the netlist I found some mapped cells with same function. how to solve this problem? how to force DC to map these cells to library cells?
 

there could be one thing in .lib all the cells by default dont_use, you can remove that attribute in constraints.

try this option in rtl compiler
set_attribute avoid false [get_lib_cell *]
set_attribute preserve false [get_lib_cell *]
