The Quartus® Prime Standard EditionSimulation IP File (.sip) is a single file that contains assignments that specify information about IP specific simulation source files.
The Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Simulation IP File is created when your IP core is generated. You may be prompted to add this file your project following IP core generation.
The Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Simulation IP File uses Tcl syntax and is similar to the Quartus® Prime Standard Edition Settings File (.qsf). A separate Quartus® Prime Standard Edition IP File exists for each individual IP core.
