Before doing strmin, u need to create a library into which the gds will get streamed in ..
Hi,
You do not necessarily need to create a new library.
Before going to the problem of sreaming in, you have to address the question whether you have streamed out properly:
A few things to consider during the stream out from Encounter:
1) Did you merge the GDS2 for the standard cells when you stream out of Encounter?
2) Did you attach the proper mapping file so that your Encounter layers are streamed to the proper/desired GDS layers?
e.g. pin labels streamed to proper GDS text layers?
When streaming in with Virtuoso:
1) Have you attached the correct techfile?
If you have, then you do not need to attach to a library - your design will be generated in the new library you defined during stream in.
2) Do you have the correct mapping layer?
Note: the stream-in mapping layer is
not necessary
IF your techfile has all the GDS/stream layer info. that you use in Encounter & you have taken care of mapping all these layers correctly when streaming out.
Best of luck,
