At least these two can be used with VHDL-AMS (which I'm
sure you'd have found out if you'd have looked through previous postings);

AMS Designer from Cadence Design Systems
(in IUS53 stream)
Advance MS from Mentor Graphics

Both will require a license, so it's not quite as simple as being able to "download" them.

There may be other VHDL-AMS simulators out there as well, but these are the most commonly used.

I use SystemVision2002 Pro simulator and o the whole I am very pleased with it.

Yes it has bugs, but doesn;t everything, new versions are constantly coming out though.

I find the post processing, waveform viewer lacking somewhat in abilities.

There are some features of VHDL it supportss, others it doesn't, can always find a workaround though. Concerning the analog side of things, cant fault it yet, just dont hand it a matrix that has around 500 terms on the leading diagonal!!!! <CRASHED AND BURNT!>
