Black box-LVS

It depends on the tool. For Assura there is a switch called blackbox...

I don't remember the one for calibre, let me think it...

In calibre you can do it by putting
LVS SPICE CULL PRIMITIVE SUBCIRCUITS YES
in custom.cal file. This file should be in run directory.

in calibre
LVS BOX <cellname>

Added after 1 minutes:
