Hello,

I had a qsys system generated successfully and I imported that in my quartus project. Currently, I don't have any test bench. Now I want to measure the power for this design. Can I do it without test bench as it requires the "design instance name"?

And,

VCD dumps right after compiling in quartus or do we need to run the "Value Change Dump File script" in modelsim to dump the .vcd file.??

Please suggest.
