Running the Vivado Simulator in Batch Mode - 2021.1 English

To run in batch or scripted mode, the Vivado simulator relies on three processes which are supported by the files generated by the export_simulation command.

• Parsing Design Files, xvhdl and xvlog
• Elaborating and Generating a Design Snapshot, xelab
• Simulating the Design Snapshot, xsim

For timing simulation, there are additional steps and data required to complete the simulation, as described in the following:

• Generating a Timing Netlist
• Running Post-Synthesis and Post-Implementation Simulations
