Simulating with the graphic interface
The
Load Design
dialog box is activated (along with theMain window (p116))
when VSIM is initially invoked, or when the Load Design button is selected from
the toolbar.
Four pages -
Design
,
VHDL
,
Verilog
, and
SDF
- allow you to select various
simulation options.
You can switch between pages to modify settings, then begin simulation by
selecting the
Load
button. If you select
Cancel
,
all selections remain unchanged
and you are returned to the Main VSIM window; the
Exit
button (only active
before simulation) closes Model
Sim
. The
Save Settings
button allows you to save
the preferences on all pages to a do (macro) file.
Compile before you simulate
To begin simulation you must have compiled design units located in a design
library, see "Creating a design library" (p46).
VSIM command options
Options that correspond to
vsim
(p91) commands are noted within parentheses in
the text below, i.e.,
Simulator Resolution
(-t [<multiplier>]<time_unit>).
