About Using the NCSim Software with the Quartus II Software

You can perform a functional or timing simulation with the Cadence Encounter NCSim software with either VHDL or Verilog HDL designs.

The following topics describe the typical functional and timing simulation flow with the NCSim software:

1. Set up the NCSim (NC-VHDL) working environment

or

1. Set up the NCSim (NC-Verilog) working environment

2. Perform a functional simulation with the NCSim software

3. Perform a timing simulation with the NCSim software

You can also run the NCSim software automatically from within the Quartus II software with the NativeLink feature.
