fixed combo logic

Hi all. I have question.
my code is
module pulsing(OUT, an1, an2, or1);

input wire an1, an2, or1;
output wire OUT;

wire afa;

and andik(afa,an1,an2);
or orik(OUT,afa,or1);

endmodule

I got after synthesis one 3bit LUT result, but I really need 2 different 
LUTS .

How can I implement it without any sequential logic(just wires and 
LUTs)?
Thanks!

During the synthesis the two separate two-bit operations and and or are 
optimized into a single three but operation in the form of a LUT.
Usually you would only need these as separate operations for debugging 
or if the intermediate signal is needed in the design, too.
Since it is not used again and not defined as an output, I'm assuming 
you just want to debug. In that case, you can use directives for the 
synthesizer to keep that signal or simulate your design without running 
the synthesis.

When you do nothing then this will always result in a single LUT, 
because with a 4-input LUT you can do every logic with up to 4 inputs. 
Yo have only 3 inputs and 1 output. That fits perfectly in a 4-input 
LUT. And the final aim of the toolchain is to get the fastest logic with 
the smallest footprint out of your description.

Why that? Then the result will be slower and will need more ressources 
on your silicon.

Use (as already said) the "keep" attribute for the afa wire. But I can 
see absolutely no need for that, because it is not needed for the 
function of this logic: when you look at the 4 FPGA pins in the real 
world you will see no difference in reaction between those two 
implementations.
