Hi Dave_59,

Thanks for your concern.

Yes I’ve tried with -version but it’s also not working.

For VCS, we normally use the command which vcs.

Similarly, I want the command for QuestaSim & ModelSim & ius**(Cadence)**.

Hi,

you can simply write

$which vcs

synopsys/vcs/**2012.09**/bin/vcs

is your VCS version no.

Or you can use -v switch which prints VCS compile and run-time version numbers, and copyright information, at start of simulation which you can check in log file.

Thanks Vinay for your concern.

Yes for VCS its working fine. But for Questasim what is the command to check the version do you know?

As per Dave,vsim -version is working fine. Is there any other way to check?

Also I need to check the version of ius(cadence). So do you know how to check?

Thanks in Advance…
