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.
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.
-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.
-verbose - (Optional) Temporarily override any message limits and return all messages from this command.
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
