Display coverage results using model coloring

Color blocks in the model based on coverage received during simulation.

Settings

On

Coverage results are displayed on the model. If a model receives incomplete coverage during simulation, it is colored light red. If it receives complete coverage, it is green. See also View Coverage Results in a Model.
