Maybe your 3 is not my 3, I see seven lines of code...

All lines call program specific tcl functions: read_netlist, read_sdc, 
read_vcd, report
Take a look in your application manual to get an explanation for this 
functions.

what im doing now is actually Power Analysis. So why do i have to read 
the netlist and sdc file when a vcd file should be enough to determine 
the power?
