Simulation Environment Options Form

Use the Simulation Environment Options form to set simulation run options that are additional to the ones that appear on the Netlist and Simulate form.

The following table describes the fields available in the Simulation Environment Options form.

Field Description

Use Hierarchical Netliste

Specifies whether the system creates a hierarchical netlist.

For tools and interfaces that do not support both types of netlists, this field is ignored.

Incremental Netlisting

Specifies whether the system netlists only the parts of your design you modified since you last netlisted.

Re-netlist Entire Design

Specifies whether the system runs a new netlist for all cellviews in your design.

Run Simulation Remotely

Specifies whether the simulation runs on a remote file server or on your local computer.

  • When selected, runs simulation on a different computer. Simulation Host Name and Simulation Host is Different Type specify the computer that will be used for remote simulation.
  • When deselected, runs simulation on your computer. Simulation Host Name and Simulation Host is Different Type have no effect.

Simulation Host Name

Specifies the computer on which the simulation runs.

The default is localhost, which is your machine. Type the name of the computer on which you want to run remote simulation. This field requires that Run Simulation Remotely is turned on.

Simulation Host is Different Type

Specifies whether the computer on which you run the simulation has a different binary storage format.

  • When selected, indicates that the storage format is different. If you do not set this field correctly, you cannot view your waveform results after the simulation finishes. This field requires that Run Simulation Remotely is turned on.
  • When deselected, indicates that the storage format is the same.
