About Using the VCS MX Software with the Quartus II Software

You can perform a functional or timing simulation with the Synopsys VCS MX software.

The following topics describe the typical functional and timing simulation flow with the VCS MX software:

1. Set up the VCS MX working environment

2. Perform a functional simulation with the VCS MX software

3. Perform a timing simulation with the VCS MX (VHDL) software

You can also run the VCS MX software automatically from within the Quartus II software using the NativeLink feature (Linux workstations).
