The combination of industry-leading performance and capacity with the best integrated debug and analysis environment makes ModelSim the simulator of choice for both ASIC and FPGA design. Combining single kernel simulator (SKS) technology with a unified debug environment for VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, and SystemC makes ModelSim the world’s most widely used simulator. The ModelSim product range includes ModelSim PE, DE & SE covering the complete range of requirements from small FPGA designs through to the largest System on Chip (SoC) devices. As for Modelsin XE (for Xilinx), it is out of date.
ModelSim PE (Personal Edition) is the industry-leading, Windows-based simulator for VHDL, Verilog, or mixed-language simulation environments offering a very cost effective solution
