Create a hierarchical cell, and then move the group of cells into the hierarchy cell. The connections between these cells are maintained; the connections between these cells and other cells are maintained through crossing hierarchy cell.

Description
Create a new hierarchical module in the current IP integrator subsystem design, and move the specified cells into that module.
You can also optionally move a group of specified cells into the hierarchical module. The connections between the specified cells are maintained. The connections between the cells being moved are maintained; connections between these cells and other cells that are not being moved are maintained automatically by IP integrator adding pins and ports to cross the hierarchical boundary.
You can also move cells into the hierarchical module by using the move_bd_cells command after the hierarchical module has been created using the create_bd_cells command.
The command returns the name of the created hierarchical module if successful, or an error message if it fails.
Arguments
-prefix <arg> - (Optional) A prefix name to apply to any cells that are moved into the hierarchical module.
-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
set_msg_config command.<target_cell_name> - (Required) The name to assign to the hierarchical module that is created.
<cells> - (Required) The list of cells, specified by the get_bd_cells command, to move from the current IP subsystem design into the hierarchical module.
Example
The following example creates a hierarchical block in the current IP integrator subsystem design, and moves the three specified cells into the block assigning them a name prefix as indicated:
group_bd_cells -prefix M1_ module1 [get_bd_cells /microblaze_1_xlconcat] \
[get_bd_cells /microblaze_1_axi_intc] [get_bd_cells /proc_sys_reset_1]
