Performing a Timing Simulation with RapidSIM Software
You can use the Cadence redifnet utility to read
MAX+PLUS® II-generated EDIF Output Files and prepare them for timing simulation with RapidSIM software. RapidSIM software can simulate both the functionality and the timing of your design. It also checks setup time requirements, hold time requirements, and Clock duty cycle timing requirements on registers.
To simulate projects with RapidSIM software, follow these steps:
- Be sure to set up your working environment correctly, as described in Setting Up the
MAX+PLUS II/Cadence Working Environment.
- Generate an EDIF Output File (.edo), as described in Compiling Projects with MAX+PLUS II Software.
- Copy the EDIF Output File <file name>.edo from the /<working directory>/max2 directory to the /<working directory>/dest directory.
- Convert the EDIF Output File into the SCALD project format by typing
redifnet <design name>  at the UNIX prompt from the /<working directory>/dest directory.
- Type
lwb_rapidsim at the UNIX prompt to generate the global.cmd directive file.
- Choose the RapidSIM button from the Logic Workbench window to start RapidSIM and simulate your EDIF Output File.
