The Simulation Menu

To access the Simulation menu from the schematic:

The Simulation menu gets added to the menu bar. It has the following commands to simulate your design.

Command	Description
Initialize	Initializes the environment for simulation.
Options	Sets additional simulation run options.
Application Options	Displays forms that are specific to your simulator. You must write the necessary SKILL code to activate this menu choice.
Stimulus	Lets you edit any file in the current simulation run directory.
Netlist/Simulate	Generates a netlist, runs a simulation using an existing netlist, or runs a complete simulation, including generating a new netlist.
Interactive	Starts an interactive simulation session.
Show Outputs	Displays the run log (`si.log`) of a background simulation, the run log (`si.foregnd.log`) of a foreground simulation, the text output (`si.out`) of the simulator, or global errors `(global.err`) found during netlisting or simulation with supported interfaces.
Show Waveforms	Displays the waveforms produced during a simulation.
Show Registers	Displays the waveforms produced during a simulation in register form.
Job Monitor	Lets you check the status of a background analysis job, monitor its output, suspend it, change its execution priority, or stop it.
