Optional setup tasks

Setup task Supported for analysis technology
Injection locations
Note: The Advanced Gate Locator algorithm does not work on models that contain existing gates.
Midplane Dual Domain 3D
Note: You can select between two algorithms when running a Gate Location analysis. If you have not set an injection location for your study, you can use either the Advanced Gate Locator algorithm or Gate Region Locator algorithm. If you have set one or more injection locations, then you can only use the Gate Region Locator algorithm.
