Before performing a functional simulation of the design, you must perform analysis and elaboration on the design. During analysis and elaboration, the Compiler submits the design to the database builder, which analyzes the design files for syntax and semantic errors, and extrapolates the hierarchy in the instances of each logic block in the design. To perform analysis and elaboration, follow these steps:
Choose Start > Start Analysis & Elaboration (Processing menu). The Compiler analyzes the design.
When you receive a message indicating that analysis and elaboration was successful, click OK.
