Hello,

I'm trying to use Synopsys forward annotation saif file in modelsim to evaluate the power of my design and I have a problem.

I use the following generate loop in my top:

iter: for i in 0 to N-1 generate
multiplier: multiplier_cell
generic map ...
end generate iter;

Synopsys refers the the cells in the saif as multiplier_0, multiplier_1, etc. In modelsim however, it refers to them as iter__0/multiplier, iter__1/multiplier, etc. Then, the mapping from Synopsys's saif file to modelsim failed since the names doesn't match.

Is there an easy way to change the naming convention in either program, so that the mapping works?

Thank you,

Jonathan
 

some also add the index of the for generate in bracket, like:

g_a: FOR i TO 0 IN 10 GENERATE

END GENERATE

g_a(0) to g_a(10)
