Does Matlab/Simulink support a command XRUN of Cadence?

Does Matlab/Simulink support a command XRUN of Cadence?

No, MATLAB/Simulink cannot directly run the 'xrun' command from Cadence.

However, if you wish to integrate Simulink models with Cadence tools which use the 'xrun' command for running mixed signal simulations in the context of HDLs then you can perform co-simulation with the HDL Verifier which provides the support for Cadence Xcelium or Incisive.

For more information on how to run a Simulink co-simulation session, refer to the following documentation links:

As far as I know, HDL Cosimulation with Cadence uses only a multi-step mode which requires xmvlog/vmvhdl, xmelab and xmsim.

Thanks for your answer!

Then, HDL Verifier doesn't offer simulation with using xrun.

I have noticed 'xrun' running in the background while using Cadence Xcelium. Since they have provided co-simulation support for Cadence Xcelium and Incisive, simulation using 'xrun' should be possible with the HDL Verifier.

Cosimulation Wizard is configured by GUI, not by scripts.

As can be seen in the following sreenshots, HDL Compilation uses xmvlog to compile a SystemVerilog file, while Elaboration options and Simulation options are options of commands xmelab and xmrun which are used by Cadence Xcelium.

My question is if Cosimulation Wirzard supports Cadence Xcelium xrun Single-step mode which include xmvlog, xmelab and xmsim.

Single-step mode means "You can specify all input files and all command-line options in a single command that compiles the design using appropriate compilers and then automatically invokes elaboration and simulation of the design".

[Divyam]

Cosimulation Wizard is the GUI to configure the co-simulation settings. You can still use scripts and command line arguments to configure the co-simulation settings.

As mentioned in my comment, the co-simulation mode does support the Cadence Xcelium 'xrun' command.

[Xuan]

Could you please point me an example of using scritps to configure co-simulation settings in Simulink?

@Xuan, you can refer to this documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/hdlcoder/ug/run-hdl-workflow-as-a-script.html
