Slightly off the topic but relevent to hierarchical simulation process
Another way to control the scope of the simulation in a hierarchical design
is
by adding the following line to you GCF control section.
CONTROL
# HIERARCHY_MODE = SINGLE_BOARD | FULL_SYSTEM | MASTER_PLUS_IO | IO_ONLY
HIERARCHY_MODE = IO_ONLY
This will save you time, disk space, build time etc. if you simply want to
analyze those signals
that cross a connector boundary.
