VCS error as simulation is not progressing

[er_sonal]

verilog

Can anyone tell me the reason if my simulation does not progress,
my tool is VCS. I tried to change timscale but then also my simulation is not
progressing ,i.e.,( suppose i am designing a counter to count 300*10*6 counts,
but simulation gets stopped in between ) .

Thanks and Regards

Re: verilog

You can specify your simulation time $finish, in your test bench.
specify it as $finish 9000; Which would run for 9000 counts...

you should check there are $finish and $stop in your design or not

actually, i believe it should be #9000 $finish.

Re: verilog

Can you post ur code here so that we can try reproduce the problem at our end!!!

did u make sure that the same timescale is used in ur testbench and ur RTL file ?

Re: verilog

Ya timescale was there in my code.
It was 1ns/1ps

probably coz, u want to count 18000 times and ur simulation time is a lot less than that. i.e. half of ur total count.

Do you mean it hangs or stops and comes out? If it hangs, may be you have a combinatiorial loop? Try debugging through VCS's UCLi command line.
