7.5.1 Functional Simulation

Use the following procedure to perform a functional simulation of an Actel design:

1. Select your Actel project in the Dashboard. If you have not created or setup your project, go to Project Setup for the procedure.
2. Open the ViewSim Wirelister dialog box. Invoke ViewVSM or, from ViewDraw, choose the Create Digital Netlist command from the Tools menu.
3. Generate a simulation (.vsm) wirelist. Type in the design name or use the Browse button. Click OK. A simulation wirelist is generated and the eProduct Designer window is displayed.
4. Simulate the design. Invoke ViewSim. Type in the design name in the Design Name box and click OK.

For more information about performing simulation with ViewSim, see the Innoveda documentation.
