Prevent deletion of certain delay cells in genus ?

I need a module where multiple D-flipflops are connected sequentially and their signal propagation requires a certain delay. I have designed the delay cell and instantiate its modules in the connection where those delay's are need. But when I use this in Genus, due to optimization process, it delete the delay cells(It keeps my Dflipflop cells properly).How could I tell genus not to delete this modules ?




I think turning of optimization may prevent this. Can I do that?

Thanks for your time.

If I use "set_attribute preserve true DLYX" , it only preserve the cells but delete the connections. I want them to be preserved along with the connections.

You don't add delay cells in genus because it is not hold aware. Makes no sense to add delay cells during logic synthesis, only in physical synthesis. You created a problem that doesn't exist.
