hi, all

I have 2 questions!

1) how can I use a .vcd file to calculate the dynamic power in design comiler?

2) when I use the command below, modelsim does not dump my type into .vcd file . how can I have my own type in vcd file too?

command : vcd dumpports -file m.vcd mydesign0

i have a port like this

mytype type is record

in1 :std_logic;
in2: std_logic_vector(31 down to 0);
end record;

help
 

I am not sure if DC can be used for power estimation -- i think power compiler is the one .. not sure.
Well it will read the vcd file and after synthesis it will report more accurate dynamic power - but no estimation here i feel.
