    Hi...
    I am trying to place and route a 128 bit multipler, with 4 pipelined
    stages. I am using the datapath option of PKS and their AWARE
    components to get the gate level netlist.
    I import this netlist into SE and follow the usual methodology from
    there on, i.e. FLOORPLAN, PLANPOWER, PLACE AND ROUTE.
    HOwever, When i add stripes in plan power and then check for geometry
    violations, I get antenna violations towards the edges of the stripes,
    where they meet the core boundary. I am not sure if this will affect
    the WROUTER when it tries to route the design. However, it seems like
    the wrouter finishes with 10-15 violations remaining. What are the
    usual strategies if violations are remaining after wrouter finishes
    its first run.

    Any help will be greatly appreciated, thank you
