Simulation script for each IP core was generated automatically when the IPs were added to the project. And the whole project is compiled collectively.

I tried to do the same from "Project > Upgrade IP Components > Generate Simulator Script for IP" but that button is not enabled (greyed out).

Moreover I have also tried adding a Nativelink setup simulation script (*.do) but that also doesn't make it work.
