The launch_simulation command lets you run any supported simulator in script mode.
The syntax of launch_simulation is as follows:
launch_simulation [-step <arg>] [-simset <arg>] [-mode <arg>] [-type <arg>][-scripts_only] [-gui] [-exec] [-of_objects <args>] [-absolute_path][-install_path <arg>] [-noclean_dir] [-quiet] [-verbose][-gcc_install_path <arg>][-exec]The following table describes the options of launch_simulation.
