Simulator Configuration Guide for Synopsys Models

Chapter 4: Using ModelSim VHDL with Synopsys ModelsSimulator Configuration Guide4. Invoke the simulator as shown in the following example:% vsim5. When the window comes up, select the testbench to load.6. Use the View/Wave pull-down menu to get the wave window. In the wave window,use File/Load Format wave.do to get the waveforms. After the waveform viewercomes up and the vsim prompt appears, enter “run 10000".7. You can also use some of the hardware model utilities listed below, but thecommands must be entered at the simulator command prompt because they are notVHDL statements. For the TILS299 example, you can also put these commands intothe .do file.
