9.2.1.1. Simulating the Testbench Flow

Follow these steps to simulate the testbench:

  1. At the command prompt, change to the testbench simulation directory <design_example_dir>/example_testbench. 
    cd <my_design>/example_testbench
  2. Run the simulation script for the supported simulator of your choice. The script compiles and runs the testbench in the simulator.
    Table 26.  Commands to Simulate the Testbench in Supported Simulators
    Simulator Instructions
    Synopsys VCS* MX In the command line, type:
    sh run_vcsmx.sh
    QuestaSim* or Questa* Intel® FPGA Edition In the command line, type:
    vsim -do run_vsim.do
    If you prefer to simulate without bringing up the GUI, type: 
    vsim -c -do run_vsim.do
  3. Analyze the results. The successful simulation displays "Testbench Passed" or "Test Case Passed" message.
