In order to view output data that toggles at a high frequency in a third-party simulation tool, enable the transport switches in the simulation tool.
The following switches must be enabled: +transport_int_delays +transport_path_delays +pulse_r/0 +pulse_e/0 For example, invoke VCS with the follow command: vcs <my_test_bench.v> <my_design_file.v> +transport_int_delays +transport_path_delays +pulse_r/0 +pulse_e/0 Below is a description of each switch: +transport_int_delays: Allows propagation of all pulses that are narrower than the SDF INTERCONNECT delay. +transport_path_delays: Allows propagation of all pulses that are narrower that the inter-module path delay. +pulse_e/<number>: Rejects (flags as error and drives X) any pulse with a width is less than or equal to the specified percentage of the module path delay . The <number> argument is a percentage in the range of 0 to 100. +pulse_r/<number>: Rejects any pulse with a width less than the specified percentage of the inter-module path delay. The <number> argument is a percentage in the range of 0 to 100. The above transport switches are not enabled by default. For further information on these switches, refer to your simulation tool's user manual.Link Copied

Along the same lines, if you are performing gate level timing simulations with Cadence NCsim simulator, the equivalent switches to transport cell and interconnect delays are:
-PULSE_R and -PULSE_INT_R e.g. ncelab work.<my design> -TIMESCALE 1ps/1ps -PULSE_R 0 -PULSE_INT_R![](/skins/images/45C6C2D737ED71F4C51F0145C8CB1E9C/responsive_peak/images/icon_anonymous_message.png)
