Abstract
An initial condition (IC) behavior module is described for use in a hardware definition language simulation system which operates in two phases. In the first phase, the IC module sets an initial logic condition onto a user-selected node which is to be monitored. The IC module will release the initial condition and then test the node value to determine if the simulation system is able to resolve the node. Alternatively, the IC module may release the node if a user-defined IC time period passes. In the second phase, the IC module monitors the node and reports an error message if the simulated node value becomes unacceptable.
