Hello Cadence,

There are two similar simulation environment: IFV and IUS. Who know what's the difference with them? And one is another one's super set?

Best regards,
Davy

    HI Ajeetha, 

     

    I think the major benefit of IFV is that it can help designer to understand his assumption can be proven or not in an early developing phase.

    Also using IFV to do connection check or mux check is very efficient, we don't need to create testcase (Although IUS has assertion capability, we still need to create our own testcases, right? )

     And also, the counter-example is very easy for us to understand what is wrong.

    Since I am new to IFV,  Is my understand here correct??
