Constraint Analysis The Constraint Manager can be configured to analyze only specific aspects of your design if desired. By default, some of the high-speed constraint considerations you would want are not enabled. If the constraint manager is not set to analyze a constraint, it will not do so in the worksheets. Let's navigate to the Analysis tool. In the Constraint Manager go to Analyze – Analysis Mode. Then the Analysis Modes window appears. You can turn on all the rule checks by checking the top-most checkbox in any category. Also be sure to check options in the lower part of the window like for Minimum propagation Delay, Pin Delay and so on (see image below). In general for most complex designs, turn everything on. However, note that the software will use more resources and may become evident in terms of system performance depending on the size of the design and the specifications of your machine. 89 www.cadence.com OrCAD X Constraint Management Guide
