3.2.2.1. Using Design Hierarchies in the Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator

The Intel® FPGA Power and Thermal Calculator (PTC) supports the hierarchical structure of your design RTL, allowing you to enter hierarchy information and report power data for each level of your design's hierarchy. This granularity of reporting allows you to make more targeted and effective improvements to power and thermal conditions.
In addition, the Intel® FPGA PTC supports export and import of power results from PTC for a particular design hierarchy, allowing you to export and reuse the Intel® FPGA PTC data in a higher level of the design, or to share the power data for import by other team members.
