Power estimation of a design in QUARTUS 11.0

Hi,

I am trying to do the power analysis for 3 of my designs where the resource utilization of my 3 designs follows the respective order 1> 2> 3. In order to do the power consumption. I generated the .vcd file by Turning on the Generate Value Change Dump File script using the design instance name in the testbench. Then I gave the .vcd file as input to the power analyzer tool in the QUARTUS II with 12.5% toggle rate.

but the power calculation for my designs following this order 2> 3 > 1 instead of 1> 2> 3.

Can anyone please tell me whether There is any other way for power estimation.

Can anyone please help me with this...

Thanks,

Phani
