Custom Simulation Flow
The custom simulation flow allows you to customize the simulation process for more complex simulation
requirements. This flow allows you to control the following aspects of your design:
• Component binding
• Compilation order
• Run commands
• IP cores
• Simulation library model files
The following figure illustrates the steps for custom flow simulation. If you use a simulation script, you
can automate some of the steps.
