Chapter 3: Using the Vivado Simulator from the Vivado IDE
Simulation Dialog Box Options
Navigation: Flow Navigator > Simulation > Simulation Settings
Note: Available options in the dialog box are based on the target simulator selected.
Target simulator
Specifies the simulator to be launched for behavioral or timing simulation. The available
options are:
• Vivado Simulator: Specifies the target simulator is the Vivado simulator.
IMPORTANT: Because the Vivado simulator has precompiled libraries, it is not necessary to identify the
library locations.
• QuestaSim/ModelSim: Specifies that QuestaSim/ModelSim is the target simulator.
See Chapter 7, Simulating with QuestaSim/ModelSim for third-party simulation
information.
Simulator language
• Options are VHDL, Verilog, or Mixed.
Simulation set
• Selects the active simulation set using an existing simulation set or by using the Create
simulation set option, described in Working with Simulation Sets, page 43.
Simulation top module name
• Sets the simulation top module.
Clean up simulation files (check box)
Selects the option to delete all content of the \simset simulation directory prior to
running the simulation.
Generate scripts only (check box)
Sets the option to generate only the target simulator project and scripts. When selected, the
simulation tool is not launched, and simulation is not performed.
