Selecting Analysis - Estimate Memory from the Cadence Virtuoso Interface main window, opens the Estimate Memory Results dialog box and translates and subsections your project. A simple status popup appears and indicates that the circuit is being subsectioned. When the subsectioning is complete, the memory use estimate and the subsectioning information, listed by level and total amounts, appears in the dialog box. You may click on the View Subsections button to open a viewer which displays the subsectioning of your circuit. You may view all metalization levels and their subsectioning.
Note that ports and analysis frequencies must be defined before you can run this command.
