Mentor Graphics Questasim v2021.2.1 Mentor, a Siemens business, is pleased to announce the availability of QuestaSim 2021.1 comprehensive platform for verification complex designs. Questa is built on a core simulation and debug engine providing the industry\’s most complete native support of Verilog, SystemVerilog, VHDL, SystemC, PSL and UPF. General Defects Repaired in 2021.1 QSIM-55060 – Running vopt to re-generate an existing optimized design after the work library had been moved in the file system would sometimes produce an error message involving the original file pathnames. The behavior has been fixed, and vopt will now re-generate the optimized design. QSIM-68141 – (results) Some VCD files contain extended (VHDL) identifiers. The vcd2wlf and vcd2qwave tools did not always read these identifiers correctly....
