The Mentor Graphics digital simulator is called QuickSim II. The digital simulator has a similar internal layout as design architect without the current component and context windows. The simulator has the following invocation syntax:
quicksim [<design | design_vpt>] [-i|-s <root_name>] [-nodisplay | -nod] [-timing_mode | -tim <unit | min | max| typ| lmin | lmax | ltyp>] [-delay_scale | -ds <number>] [-time_scale | -ts <number>] [-constraint_mode | -consm <off | state_only | messages>] [-contention_check | -coc <off | on>] [-spike_check | -spc <off | on>] [-qpt_messages | -qptm <off | on>] [-blm_check | -blmc <off | on>] [-toggle_check | -toc <off | on>] [-hazard_check | -hac <off | on>] [-dbg_blm <off | on>] [-spike_model | -spm <suppress| x_immediate>] [-delay_mode | -delm <inertial | transport>] [-setup | -set <setup_name>] [-restore | -res <save_state_obj>] [-absfile | -abs <abstract_sig_file>]
