Hi all, The openlane flow calculates the max. frequency of my IP? If yes, how could i find it?

The minimum slack is all the time you have to spare. So the clock period used for synthesis minus the minimum slack will give you the minimum possible clock period (more or less---there are a number of margining factors thrown into the calculation of the slack).

Note that the synthesis tools will only attempt to hit the target frequency, so you are unlikely to get large amounts of slack reported. That doesn't mean that the tools couldn't do better if given a higher frequency target.
