If you know the top level of the encrypted IP and its port list, simply instantiate it in your own code, then do

 vlog my_top.v;
   vsim my_top

I've not tried it, but might work.

Hi ,
The compiled design will be in different format like .db in synopsys .The default compiled database will be in work directory . Since you are given compiled database you need to mention the path of ur database like ,
vsim -work <path> <top_module> ( I'm not sure about the exact option ) .
Check in the user manual for the correct option .
