can we do timing simulation using SDF file in tetramax, why is it advised to use VCS for simulation?
 

Because a simulator engine is required for simulation. As far as I know Tetramax tool is a pattern generator.
You can write a script which uses the test patterns generated by Tetramax to simulate your design (any form) and then compare the results.

But then TestMAX ATPG Simulation Waveform Viewer (SWV) can be used to debug functional pattern mismatches by displaying the failing simulation values.
 

I think a Simulator and a Simulation Waveform Viewer (SWV) are different things.
You can save a waveform to view it afterwards. There are various waveform viewers which will allow you to view such files. But a simulator is a tool which generates those waveform.
