To perform a semantic check on the design HDL files, by elaborating and compiling the simulation snapshot without running simulation, you can set the SKIP_SIMULATION property on the simulation fileset:
set_property SKIP_SIMULATION true [get_filesets sim_1]Important: If you elect to use one of the properties above, disable the Clean
up simulation files check box in the simulations settings, or if you are
running in batch/Tcl mode, call
launch_simulation with
-noclean_dir.
