What is Xcelium's equivalent of VCS's deraceclockdata option?

VCS has deraceclockdata compile time flag which ensures that irrespective of the coding style clock and data updates do not occur in the same evaluation step.
Does Xcelium have something similar?

Xcelium encourages users to write high quality code that adheres to good coding styles, rather than deviating from standards to allow badly written code to work. After all, the point of verification is to check that the code works properly rather than just making you feel good about your code.

That said, it does have a race detector to help you identify and fix bad code:

Yes, that exists but it's still better to fix your RTL rather than masking potential issues by hiding them with that switch. Note that this switch cannot fix every case of bad code, there are just too many ways that you can create races.
