PEX ERROR: src/db/db/dbPLC.cc,543,false

jinxtopcs

Hi Mattias,
I am using on PEX extraction and stuck on this error.
Not sure why min_b=0 in region.delaunay works but extraction keeps failing.
And, in your opinion, when dealing with non-orthogonal shape in PEX, these statements are correct (assume we don't care the R result) ?
1. min_b=0 is better than min_b=0.3
2. tessellation is better than squarecounting
Sorry I try to read online but still cannot understand the functions completely.
Since I cannot post too much information here. I hope you can reproduce the error using limited information below.

I installed klayout 0.30.9 in linux system.

from typing import *
import klayout.db as kdb
import klayout.pex as klp


tech1 = klp.RExtractorTech()
tech2 = klp.RExtractorTech()

m1 = 10
m2 = 20
v1 = 15

for l in (m1, m2):
    m = klp.RExtractorTechConductor()
    m.layer = l
    m.resistance = 1
    m.algorithm = klp.Algorithm.Tesselation
    m.triangulation_max_area = 0
    m.triangulation_min_b = 0
    tech1.add_conductor(m)
    m.triangulation_min_b = 0.3
    tech2.add_conductor(m)

v = klp.RExtractorTechVia()
v.cut_layer = v1
v.bottom_conductor = m1
v.top_conductor = m2
v.resistance = 1
tech1.add_via(v)
tech2.add_via(v)
