The Vivado Design Suite lets you analyze, verify, and modify the design at each stage of the design process. You can run design rule and design methodology checks, logic simulation, timing and power analysis to improve circuit performance. This analysis can be run after RTL elaboration, synthesis, and implementation. For more information, see the Vivado Design Suite User Guide: Design Analysis and Closure Techniques (UG906).

The Vivado simulator enables you to run behavioral and structural logic simulation of the design at different stages of the design flow. The simulator supports Verilog and VHDL mixed-mode simulation, and results can be displayed in a waveform viewer integrated in the Vivado IDE. You can also use third-party simulators that can be integrated into and launched from the Vivado IDE. Refer to Running Logic Simulation for more information.
