Syntax
reset_simulation [‑mode <arg>] [‑type <arg>] [‑quiet] [‑verbose] [<simset>]Usage
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
[-mode]
|
Remove generated data for the specified mode. Values: behavioral, post-synthesis, post-implementation Default: behavioral |
[-type]
|
Remove generated data for the specified type. Applicable mode is post-synthesis or post-implementation. Values: functional, timing |
[-quiet]
|
Ignore command errors |
[-verbose]
|
Suspend message limits during command execution |
[<simset>]
|
Name of the simulation fileset to reset |

Description
Reset the current simulation to its starting condition, by cleaning out the various output files created during compilation and simulation for the specified simulation fileset.
Important: Local files will be removed from the project simulation folders without warning.
The command returns nothing if successful, or an error if it fails.
Arguments
-mode [ behavioral | post-synthesis | post-implementation ] - (Optional) Specify the simulation mode to reset. Valid values include behavioral simulation, post-synthesis, or post implementation simulation. The default mode is behavioral.
-type [ functional | timing ] - (Optional) Cannot be used with -mode behavioral. Specifies functional simulation of just the netlist, or timing simulation of the netlist and SDF file. Post-synthesis timing simulation uses SDF component delays from the synth_design command. Post-implementation timing simulation uses SDF delays from the place_design and route_design commands.
Note: Do not use
-type with -mode behavioral, or the tool will return an error.-quiet - (Optional) Execute the command quietly, returning no messages from the command. The command also returns TCL_OK regardless of any errors encountered during execution.
Note: Any errors encountered on the command-line, while launching the command, will be returned. Only errors occurring inside the command will be trapped.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
Note: Message limits can be defined with the
set_msg_config command.<simset> - (Optional) Specify a simulation fileset to remove. The default simset is sim_1.
Examples
The following example resets the post-synthesis timing simulation by removing files for the sim_2 simset:
reset_simulation -mode post-synthesis -type timing sim_2
