  • As TAM1 mentioned, your simulator is the tool responsible for generating the VCD, and in your case it is not one produced by Cadence or that I am familiar with all its switches and options. I tried forwarding a link showing how this is done using modelsim but it sounds like that link may have been missing some of the information you need based on your response. I suggest you contact your Mentor AE or Mentor forum for help on modelsim. As per the other tools, you have everything you need and all of them will simply read the VCD file generated with modelsim. The documentation has detailed information on how to do that.

    good luck,
