MODELSIM (MTI): How to save waveform results?


Problem Description:
Urgency: Standard

General Description:
How to save the waveform results in the ModelSim simulator?


Solution 1:

During a simulation run, ModelSim writes out a vsim.wlf file,
which contains the waveform information for that run.

In order to be able to view the saved results, load up the
vsim.wlf file from within ModelSim as follows:

Modelsim Prompt> vsim -view vsim.wlf

ModelSim will then load up the simulation information.
However, it does not launch the waveform window. To
do this, open the waveform window and add the list
of signals to the wave window:

Modelsim Prompt> view wave
Modelsim Prompt> add wave *

Modelsim will then launch the wave window, list the
signals and show the results as seen in the vsim.wlf file.
