Slide 19 of 53
Notes:
The ASSERT statement is used to alert the user of some condition inside the model. When the expression in the ASSERT statement evaluates to FALSE, the associated text message is displayed on the simulator console. Additionally, an evaluation of FALSE may be used to halt the simulation, depending on the severity level of the associated ASSERT statement.
The four severity levels, in increasing severity, are listed in this slide. However, the simulator actions associated with each severity level are simulator dependent. For example, a simulator implementation be use the Failure condition to halt a simulation but continue a simulation under the other assertion conditions.
