Super ContributorYes, the clock source component is for synthesis. The BFMs are for simulation.
There is no other use for the BFMs. You use them to create a special testbench system specifically for simulation. To save time, you can generate this testbench system automatically from the Generate menu (Generate Testbench I think). If you choose the simple option, it replaces clocks and resets with clock and reset BFMs for control in your testbench program. If you choose the other option (forget what it's called right now), it will generate a testbench system with the appropriate BFMs attached to any exported interfaces in your system.
