3.1.3. RTL Simulation Setup Scripts

Platform Designer generates scripts for several simulators that you can use to complete the simulation process, as listed in the following table.
Simulator Script Name Directory
Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition (Questa_fe) msim_setup.tcl <project directory>/<Platform Designer design name>/sim/mentor
Cadence® Xcelium* xcelium_setup.sh <project directory>/<Platform Designer design name>/sim/xcelium
Synopsys* VCS* MX vcsmx_setup.sh <project directory>/<Platform Designer design name>/sim/synopsys/vcsmx
Aldec® Riviera-PRO* rivierapro_setup.tcl <project directory>/<Platform Designer design name>/sim/aldec
Note: The (1) Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition is licensed together with the Quartus® Prime Pro Edition software. You need to purchase a separate license to use the (2) Siemens* EDA QuestaSim* , (3) Cadence® NCSim, (4) Synopsys* VCS* , (5) Synopsys* VCS* MX simulators. For information about the purchase of licenses, please access the respective official websites.

The following sections show the detailed steps on creating the test scripts for the supported simulators.
