run

The run command advances the simulation by the specified number of timesteps.

Syntax

run

-stepover]

Arguments

<timesteps>[<time_units>]

Specifies the number of timesteps for the simulation to run. The number may be

fractional. Optional. In addition, optional <time_units> may be specified as:

fs, ps, ns, us, ms, or sec

The default <timesteps> and <time_units> specifications can be changed during a

VSIM session from the Options > Simulation menu option in the Main window

(see "Setting default simulation options"

(10-260)). Time steps and time units may

also be set with the RunLength

(B-400) and UserTimeUnit (B-401) variables in the

modelsim.ini file.

-all

Causes the simulator to run until there are no events scheduled. Optional.

-continue

Continues the last simulation run after a step (CR-151) command, step -over

command or a breakpoint. A run -continue command may be input manually or

used as the last command in a bp

(CR-40) command string. Optional.

-next

Causes the simulator to run to the next event time. Optional.

-step

Steps the simulator to the next HDL statement. Optional.

-stepover

Specifies that VHDL procedures, functions and Verilog tasks are to be executed

but treated as simple statements instead of entered and traced line by line.

Optional.
