PCIe simulation with Qsys

Hello, Has anyone noticed that Qsys does not generate the simulation testbench for PCIe? In SOPC builder, if the generate simulation model option is selected, it will automatically include the...

Ok,

So it looks like you MUST export the conduit signals (ref_clk, etc.) within Qsys, select the simulation model AND testbench options (selectable from within the generation tab), and then generate the system.
