    Seems like a reasonable explanation and probably better than anything I can provide since I do not have access to modelsim. Once you have the vcd file you can use it across the rest of the tools you mention. It is probably best to read the vcd into RC and generate a TCF to use for the rest of the tools. TCF runs faster in the end since it only contains the toggle activity

    hope this helps,
