3. Synopsys VCS and VCS MX Support November 2011 QII53002-11.0.1 QII53002-11.0.1 This chapter describes how to use the Synopsys VCS and VCS MX software to simulate designs that target Altera® FPGAs. This chapter provides instructions about how to perform functional simulations, post-synthesis simulations, and gate-level timing simulations. This chapter also describes the location of the simulation libraries and how to automate simulations. This chapter includes the following topics: ■ “Software Requirements” ■ “Using the VCS or VCS MX Software in the Quartus II Design Flow” ■ “Common VCS and VCS MX Software Compiler Options” on page 3–8 ■ “Using DVE” on page 3–8 ■ “Debugging Support Command-Line Interface” on page 3–9 ■ “Simulating Designs that Include Transceivers” on page 3–9 ■ “Transport Delays” on page 3–13 ■ “Using NativeLink with the VCS or VCS MX Software” on page 3–13 ■ “Generating a Timing .vcd File for the PowerPlay Power Analyzer” on page 3–13 ■ “Viewing a Waveform from a .vpd or .vcd File” on page 3–14 ■ “Scripting Support” on page 3–15 Software Requirements To simulate your design with the Synopsys VCS or VCS MX software, you must first set up the Altera libraries. These libraries are installed with the Quartus® II software. f For more information about installing the software and the directories created during
