Vivado Design Suite is a software suite for synthesis and analysis of hardware description language (HDL) designs, superseding Xilinx ISE with additional features for system on a chip development and high-level synthesis.[1][5][6][7] Vivado represents a ground-up rewrite and re-thinking of the entire design flow (compared to ISE).[8][9][10]
Like the later versions of ISE, Vivado includes the in-built logic simulator.[11] Vivado also introduces high-level synthesis, with a toolchain that converts C code into programmable logic.[6]
Replacing the 15 year old ISE with Vivado Design Suite took 1000 man-years and cost US$200 million.[12]

The Vivado simulator, integrated into the Vivado IDE, allows you to simulate the design, add and view signals in the waveform viewer, and examine and debug the design as needed.
