Running a simulation
When a schematic has been set up, it can be simulated. This automatically creates the required netlist, saves the simulation results, and displays them for analysis in the Waveform Viewer.
About this task
Note that rerunning a simulation overwrites any previous results from simulating the same schematic. If you want to be able to access the results of an earlier simulation, you must first make a copy of them in the file system. The results are stored in a subfolder of the project folder with the name sim-schematicName-Default. If you make a copy of that folder, you can later open the .csdf file in it using the command in Waveform Viewer.
Before you begin
The schematic must be completed, as described in Working with schematics. It must be displayed in the frontmost tab.
The simulation must be set up, as described in Setting up a simulation.
Procedure
Results
The simulation is run with the specified settings. Diagnostic output is written to the tabs of the Output view. The Waveform Viewer is opened, displaying the simulation results.
