Restart A Simulation<br />
restart -f<br />
<br />
Save a waveform to a .wlf file<br />
dataset save [dataset] [output file]<br />
<br />
You can also start vsim with the -wlf flag, which will automatically save the waveform to a .wlf file.<br />
However, doing the save from the command line after the simulation has been run will be safer in terms of overwriting old .wlf files you may want to keep around.<br />

List the available datasets<br />
dataset list<br />
<br />
Run the whole test bench<br />
run -all<br />
<br />
Run the simulation for n amount of time<br />
run [n][unit] e.x. run 100us</div>Tyler07
