Simulator state variables

This appendix documents the following types of ModelSim variables:

• environment variables
  Variables referenced and set according to operating system conventions. Environment variables prepare the ModelSim environment prior to simulation.
• ModelSim preference variables
  Variables used to control compiler or simulator functions and modify the appearance of the ModelSim GUI.
• simulator state variables
  Variables that provide feedback on the state of the current simulation.
