Specifying Simulation Environment Options

You can use the Simulation – Options command before you run a simulation to specify the following:

• If the system creates a hierarchical or flat netlist
• If the simulation runs on a remote machine

These options determine whether the system creates a flat or hierarchical netlist, runs remote simulation, or runs the simdiff command during the simulation process. The fields on the Options form have the default values or the values you specified when you last ran a simulation in the current simulation run directory.

The Simulation – Options command is enabled only after you have used the Initialize command to initialize the simulation environment.

To specify the simulation environment options:

1. In the schematic window, select Simulation – Options.
   The Simulation Environment Options form appears.
   
   
2. Select Use Hierarchical Netlister to netlist using the hierarchical netlister.
   • Select Incremental Netlisting to enable incremental netlisting using the hierarchical netlister.
   • Select Re-netlist Entire Design to renetlist the entire design using the hierarchical netlister.
3. Select Run Simulation Remotely to run the simulation remotely.
   • Specify the hostname for the remote simulation in the Simulation Host Name field. This field is enabled when you select the Run Simulation Remotely check box.
   • Select Simulation Host is Different Type to indicate that the host computer has a different binary storage format than the local computer.
4. Click OK.

The system updates the simulation environment with the specified simulation options.
