Hi Marek,

There are several alternatives available:

  1. Have Design Compiler to generate Verilog and import the Verilog
     directly into Silicon Ensemble to do P&R.

  2. Have DC to generate Verilog and import into Physical Design Planner
     and do floorplanning, timing analysis, congestion analysis, WLM model
     generation, etc and then run SE from PDP.  This will also give you the
     option to use IC Craftsman for chip assembly from PDP.

  3. Have DC to generate Verilog and import the netlist into DFII using
     VerilogIn and then through Preview do floorplanning and run SE for P&R.

We used to use EDIF and use Verilog now (which works).  Perhaps you have
a look at: "http://tech-www.informatik.uni-hamburg.de/Dokumentation
/DokuHomePage.html#Cadence" which is OK for you as these documents are
in German.
