New ContributorWhich Verilog Simulator to Install
I'm new to FPGAs and Verilog simulation tools. I'm building a simple processor for fun and would like to know which Verilog simulation would be best for me to install. I would like that there be no c...
Both of these are free and good simulators for verilog code:

https://github.com/steveicarus/iverilog
I use icarus verilog to simulate all my Altera FPGA designs written in verilog and find that is is accurate and fast.
They are both also very general purpose for simulating arbitrary verilog code, not necessarily FPGA related.
And for a waveform viewer, GTKwave is also an excellent free choice: https://gtkwave.sourceforge.net/
