Comparing Hierarchical and Flattened Designs

If you are comparing a hierarchical RTL design simulation against a flattened synthesized design simulation, you may have different hierarchies, different signal names, and the buses may be broken down into one-bit signals in the gate-level design. All of these differences can be handled by ModelSim's Waveform Comparison feature.

If signals in the RTL test design are different in type from the synthesized signals in the reference design - registers versus nets, for example - the Waveform Comparison feature will automatically do the type conversion for you. If the type differences are too extreme (say integer versus real), Waveform Comparison will let you know.
