Producing Timing Simulation Data

The Design Manager/Flow Engine can produce timing simulation data for use in a third party simulation tool.

To Produce Timing Simulation Data

1. In the Design Manager project view, select an implementation revision icon.
   
   
2. Open the Options dialog box using one of the following methods.
   
   
   • From the Design Manager menu, select Design Implement. Click the Options button in the Implement dialog box.
     
     
   • From the Flow Engine menu, select Setup Options or click the Design Implementation Options toolbar button.
     
     
     
     The Options dialog box appears, as shown in the “Options Dialog Box” figure of the “Implementation Options” chapter.
     
     
3. In the Options dialog box, select Produce Timing Simulation Data.
   
   
4. Click OK.
   
   When you implement the design, the Flow Engine produces timing simulation data files. Each time the data is produced, it is automatically exported to your design directory. You can now use these files to simulate the design with a supported third party simulation tool.
