Running an Interactive Simulation

You can run an interactive simulation if your simulation interface supports this functionality. The Interactive command is enabled only after you have used the Initialize command to initialize the simulation environment.

To run an interactive simulation:

1. In the Schematic window, select Simulation – Interactive.
2. Choose to netlist your design, or not, and click OK.
   By default, the system opens the following three windows:
   • A window for displaying waveforms produced during the simulation (at the top half of the screen)
   • A window for editing the design you are simulating (at the bottom right)
   • A window for textual interaction with the simulator (at the bottom left)
   
   Commands in the simulator window vary depending on the simulator you use.
   To customize the window placement, in the CIW, choose Options – User Preferences and click Place Manually.
3. When you finish simulation, choose Finish Interactive from the SE menu of the simulator window.
