Abstract
Disclosed are methods, systems, and articles of manufactures for implementing a physical design with force directed placement or floorplanning and layout decomposition by identifying multiple nodes and then iteratively generating multiple cells by using the multiple nodes in a decomposition process and applying force model(s) to iteratively morph the cells until convergence criteria are satisfied to generate a layout or floorplan of an electronic design without requiring complete conductivity for the electronic design. The initially identified custom conductivity information is maintained throughout this iterative process.
