In the following figure, a synchronous clock domain crossing exists between clk1 and clk2. Both clocks are considered synchronous by default, but no common node relationship is detected. If synthesized out-of-context and the clocks have a common node at the top level, you can suppress the violation with constraints such as:

create_clock -period 3.000 [get_ports clk1]
set_property HD.CLK_SRC BUFGCTRL_X0Y2 [get_ports clk1]
create_generated_clock -divide_by 2 -source [get_ports clk1] [get_ports clk2]
set_property HD.CLK_SRC BUFGCTRL_X0Y4 [get_ports clk2]
