Simulating the structural version

1. Start by creating a new working directory, making it the current directory, and copying the files from \modeltech\examples\datasets into it.


2. Use the vlib command to create a work library in the current directory.



vlib work 

(MENU: Design > Create a New Library)

3. Use the vmap command to map the work library to a physical directory. A modelsim.ini file will be written into the work directory.



vmap work work 

4. Compile the structural version of the counter.



vlog cntr_struct.v 

  


  (MENU: Design > Compile)
  

5. Load the design and save the simulation to a WLF file named struct.wlf.



vsim -wlf struct.wlf work.cntr_struct 

6. Now you will run a DO file that applies stimulus to the design, runs the simulation, and adds waves to the Wave window.



do stimulus.do 

(MENU: Macro > Execute Macro)

The waves that appear in the Wave window are saved automatically into the struct.wlf file.

7. Quit the simulation.



quit -sim 

(MENU: Design > End Simulation)
