408 Simulator
The Simulator Queue
Model Description
Command Toolbar Symbol and Description
START Starts a simulation and compiles the .sml source file, which is
created from the Schematic sheet at simulation start.
MODEL DESCRIPTION Creates a separate .sml or .vhd file from the simulation model
(without starting a simulation).
STOP Completely stops a running simulation.
BREAK Temporarily breaks (pauses) a running simulation.
CONTINUE Resumes a paused simulation.
DAY POST PROCES-
SOR
Starts the DAY Post Processor. If simulation results (.sdb file)
exist for the active model, this file is opened in a new window.
To save online outputs in .sdb files, choose FILE>SAVE after a
simulation run.
EXPERIMENT TOOL Starts the Experiment tool.
RESTORE ANIMATED
SYMBOLS
Initializes animated symbols. (Markings in states, states of
switches).
REPLAY SIMULATION Replays the entire simulation process using the simulation results
in Display Elements and Animated Symbols (without recomputation).
Normally the simulation model is computed immediately after the simulator call. If there are
other active simulation tasks, the new task are placed at the end of the queue. If you wish,
you can change the process sequence in the SSC Commander. See also 13.5 “Managing the
Simulator Queue” on page 416.
The SIMULATION>MODEL DESCRIPTION command creates an source files from the active simulation
model in the Schematic (without starting a simulation).
To create a description (SML or VHDL-AMS) from an existing graphical model start the SIMU-
LATION>MODEL DESCRIPTION command. After entering the file name and selecting the format,
the description is created. Subsheets in the model description are imported as macro definitions.
From model descriptions of this form, the Model Agent can create macros which can be
used in any other simulation model.
