Is it a timing file like "SDF" file? Or why use timing file in ncelab but not ncsim? Thanks! Davy

Many tools support run time annotation (Ex: Modelsim ..) some tools do annotation at compile time ( VCS where compile and elab tovether) ... If you do SDF annotation at compilation time or Elab Time ( Elaboration time ) simulations are faster . Thanks & Regards Y.Laxmi Narayana
