Simulation and Simulation-based Verification


Mentor Graphics now has two market-leading offerings in the field of Simulation and Verification; ModelSim and QuestaSim.

  • ModelSim from Model Technology is the definitive HDL Simulator. An industry standard in the HDL world for simulation and debug, its practical, easy to use GUI, and simulation performance has made ModelSim the most widely used VHDL, Verilog, SystemC and mixed language simulator in the world.
  • QuestaSim has been built upon the industry-standard ModelSim HDL simulator, but additionally offers design, verification and systems engineers a tool which they can all use. This tool allows you  to not only design and to debug in VHDL, Verilog, SystemC but also SystemVerilog and PSL. This is the area in which the capabilities of QuestaSim most differs from ModelSim, as it also incorporates PSL/SystemVerilog Assertion, Constrained-random and Coverage-driven Verification support.

The popularity of ModelSim's product line reflects Mentor Graphics' commitment to delivering the best simulation technology, performance, support and price. ModelSim and Questa are uniquely architected using technology such as Optimized Direct Compile for faster compile times and simulation performance, Single Kernel Simulation (SKS) and Tcl/Tk for greater levels of openness and faster debugging. Exclusive to ModelSim, these innovations result in leading compiler/simulator performance, complete freedom to mix VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC and PSL as well as the unmatched ability to customize the simulator. In addition, with each product, designers enjoy ease of use, debugging support, robust quality and technical support.
