Simulate Mode

Simulation Mode



Allows you to specify the type of simulation. The Quartus® II Simulator can perform the following types of simulation:

Functional Simulates the behavior of flattened netlists extracted from the design files. You can use Tcl commands and scripts to control simulation and to provide vector stimuli. You can also provide vector stimuli in a Vector Waveform File (.vwf) or a text-based Vector File (.vec), although the Simulator uses only the sequence of logic level changes, and not their timing, from the vector stimuli. This type of simulation also allows you to check simulation coverage (the ratio of nodes simulated to the total number of nodes in the design).
Timing Uses a fully compiled netlist that includes estimated or actual timing information. You can use Tcl commands and scripts to control simulation and to provide vector stimuli. You can also provide vector stimuli in a Vector Waveform File (.vwf) or a text-based Vector File (.vec). This type of simulation also allows you to check setup and hold times, detect glitches, and check simulation coverage (the ratio of nodes simulated to the total number of nodes in the design).
