Stop Simulation on Default Models

It is now possible to stop simulation on any design items that have one or more default buffer models. This effects the following options;

  •  Simulate Uncoupled

If any default buffer models are used, the simulation window will be displayed but no waveform is shown. A message will be      displayed that shows which pins have default models. You can assign models in the 'Data' tab and display a waveform.

                                                             

  • Simulate Coupled

If any default buffer models are used, either in the target net or any of the aggressor nets, the simulation window will be displayed but no waveform is shown. A message will be displayed that shows which pins have default models. You can assign models in the 'Data' tab and display a waveform.

  • Update Selected

If any of the electrical nets or differential pairs currently selected use default buffer models, no results will be returned by the simulator and 'No result' will be displayed in the spreadsheet;

This is configured in the hs_config.ini configuration file.
