USing VCS RTL Simulation from quartus pro generated code

HI, I am using Quartus pro 21.2 1) Generate Simulation model for VCS 2) go to generate folder ( Audio.v : my generated PLL name ) 3) This is user Guide for quar...

I think you are using the incorrect command.

Try using sh vcsmx_setup.sh instead.

source vcsmx_setup.sh is for sourcing the Synopsys VCS MX Simulator Setup Scripts.

Go through the Questa Quick Start then you will understand the simulation flow.

HI,

I thinks that we are not same page.

Can you see attachment from Quartus pro

Just generated one PLL which name is test.

In there, there are script for vcs_mx.

1) Script said

source ~~~~~~/vcsmx_setup.sh

--> NOT WORKING ( My problem to run simulation)

2) The template is not said as

Intel Quartus Prime Pro Edition User Guide: Third-party Simulation

Even same Quartus prime pro version as doc,

Why generated script file contents is not same?

Would check it again?

Thanks

    For those who come across similar issue:

    To run simulation on the design:

    1. Go to synopsys/vcsmx
    2. Type sh vcsmx_sim.sh
    3. A DVE gui will popup:
    4. Click on Simulator> Setup, change the Simulator argument to -ucligui and Click OK
    5. After that, click on Signals>Add to waves >New wave view to generate waveform window
    6. Click on the Start/Continue (F5) –see the circled arrow to run the simulation

    1. The simulation will run till finish with the waveform is updated with the signals in the tb as shown below

    With that, I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.

    Best Regards,
