The Gate Location analysis is used to recommend injection locations for the part. This analysis works for all analysis technologies and is used as a preliminary input for a full Fill+Pack analysis.
You can choose between two algorithms when running a Gate Location analysis, the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm or the Gate Region Locator algorithm. The Advanced Gate Locator algorithm is used by default.
When using this analysis, you can define prohibited gate regions to specify areas where you do not want to place gates.
After running a Gate Location analysis, the recommended injection location is automatically displayed in a duplicate of the study.
