 Note that the [example](https://github.com/TILOS-AI-Institute/MacroPlacement/tree/main/CodeElements/Clustering/test) that we provide is the ariane design implemented in NanGate45.  The netlist and corresponding def file with placed instances are generated by [Genus iSpatial](https://github.com/TILOS-AI-Institute/MacroPlacement/tree/main/Flows/NanGate45/ariane133) flow. Here the macro placement is automatically done by the Genus and Innovus tools,
 i.e., according to Flow **(B.1)** above.
