There are two ways to load a design: analyze/elaborate or read_file .
To customize this workflow for your specific project ASIC architecture, tell me:
# 1. Setup source .synopsys_dc.setup
Before launching Design Compiler, you must configure your Linux environment variables and organize your project workspace. Environment Variables
By 2021, the focus was heavily on or DC Topographical (DC-T) , which offers improved correlation between synthesis and physical layout (IC Compiler/ICC2), often within 10% accuracy.
