There are simulator specific commands you can use to get the seed. Please refer to your tool documentation or contact your vendor support team for additional assistance.

Okay Cgales, Thanks for the response.

The simulator switch -sv_seed random is not really useful, because it uses a random seed. This does not allow to debug any issue in your simulation. My recommendation is taht you do not set any seed. Then the simulator is calculating its own seed, which is repeatible. Or you can set a specific seed. Then the question is what is a good seed? Is it smal nummber like 1 or 2 or should you use a big number like 1234567.
