Save Coverage Filter to File
After you define the coverage filter rules, save the rules to a file so that you can reuse
them with this model or with other models. By default, coverage filter files are named
<model_name>_covfilter.cvf.
In the Coverage Filter Viewer:
1
In the File name field, specify a file name for the filter file or accept the default file
name.
2
Click Apply to save the coverage filter rules to that file.
If you make multiple changes to the coverage filter rules, apply the changes to the
coverage filter file each time.
Attach Coverage Filter File to Model
Attach a coverage filter file to your model so that each time you open the model, the
coverage filter rules apply when you simulate your model.
In the Coverage Filter Viewer:
1
Select Attach file to model.
2
Click Apply.
Note: You can also attach a coverage filter file to your model in the Coverage Settings
dialog box, on the Filter tab.
You can have only one coverage filter file attached to a model at a time. If you attach a
different coverage filter file, the newly attached file replaces the previously attached file.
Two or more models can have the same coverage filter file attached. If a model has an
attached filter file that contains coverage filter rules for specific objects in a different
model, those rules are ignored during coverage recording.
View Coverage Filter Rules in Your Model
Whenever you define a coverage filter rule or remove an existing coverage filter rule, the
Coverage Filter Viewer opens. This dialog box lists all the coverage filter rules for your
model. For more information, see “Coverage Filter Viewer” on page 20-10.
