Note: The
launch_simulation
command is natively integrated into the Vivado
IDE that can be used for running a simulation or generating scripts in GUI or Tcl
mode. You can also use export_simulation command
for generating scripts only. See Exporting Simulation Files and Scripts
for more details.Running the Design in Non-Precompile Mode
By default, the launch_simulation
command compiles the design files and binds the pre-compiled IP/simulation models
during elaboration. These pre-compiled IP/simulation models can be compiled with the
design as well in the local run directory in which case the relevant source files of
these IP/simulation models will added in the .do/prj/sh file for compilation. To run
the design in non-precompile mode, unselect check-box or set the following property to false from the Tcl
Console.
set_property sim.use_ip_compiled_libs false [current_project]Note: When the design is run in a
non-precompile mode, the pre-compiled version of the IP/simulation models that were
compiled using
compile_simlib are not used.
