Problem Title:
Foundation Timing simulation : BAX file <design> does not exist XACT6
Design Manager process ?



Problem Description:
Upon entering the Timing Simulator in the Foundation tools,
the following popup window may appear :

BAX file <design> does not exist.
XACT6 Design Manager Process?

This message is displayed when the Foundation Project Manager
is unable to locate a timing simulation netlist for the
project.


Solution 1:

If the design has not yet been implemented, click "Yes"
to start the Xilinx Design Manager.

When you implement the design, be sure to check the box
next to "Produce Timing Simulation Data" in the Design
Implementation Options window (under Setup->Options
in the Flow Engine).  When you exit the Design Manager,
the Foundation simulator will load the design.

If the design has already been implemented, check to make
sure the "Produce Timing Simulation Data" box was checked.
