Abstract
Some embodiments provide a system that performs a simulation within an electronic design automation (EDA) application. During operation, the system obtains a design from a user of the EDA application. Next, the system performs the simulation using the design to create a set of current simulation results associated with the design. The system then automatically saves a current design state of the design which is associated with the current simulation results. Finally, the system enables subsequent access to the current design state and one or more previous design states of the design by the user through a graphical user interface (GUI) associated with the EDA application.
