Specifies the location of your user-defined *.do file.

-sim_runtime {value}

Sets your simulation runtime. Value is the number and unit of time, such as {1000ns}.

-tb_module_name {value}

Specifies your testbench module name, where value is the name.

-tb_top_level_name {value}

Sets the top-level instance name in the testbench, where value is the name.

-include_do_file value

Includes a *.do file; possible values are:

Table 13-43. Values
Value	Description
TRUE	Includes the `*.do` file.
FALSE	Does not include the `*.do` file.

-included_do_file {value}

Specifies the name of the included *.do file, where value is the name of the file.

-type {value}

Resolution type; possible values are:

Table 13-44. Values
Value	Description
min	Minimum
typ	Typical
max	Maximum

-resolution {value}

Sets your resolution value, such as {1ps}.

-add_vsim_options {value}

Adds more Vsim options, where value specifies the option(s).

-display_dut_wave value

Enables ModelSim to display signals for the tested design; possible values are:

Table 13-45. Values
Value	Description
0	Displays the signal for the top_level_testbench
1	Enables ModelSim to display the signals for the tested design

-log_all_signals value

Enables you to log all your signals during simulation; possible values are:

Table 13-46. Values
Value	Description
TRUE	Logs all signals
FALSE	Does not log all signals

-do_file_args value

Specifies *.do file command parameters.

-dump_vcd value

Dumps the VCD file when simulation is complete; possible values are:

Table 13-47. Values
Value	Description
TRUE	Dumps the VCD file
FALSE	Does not dump the VCD file

-vcd_file {value}

Specifies the name of the dumped VCD file, where value is the name of the file.
