Before starting a simulation, you must generate the appropriate simulation
netlist by either compiling the design for timing simulation or choosing the
Generate Functional Simulation Netlist command (Processing menu) for
functional simulation. In addition, you must create and specify a vector
source file as the source of simulation input vectors. The Simulator uses the
input vectors contained in the vector source file to simulate the output
signals that a programmed device would produce under the same
conditions.
