spectre can write out fsdb files, but I don't think Verilog-XL can (which is what is used in spectreVerilog). It may be possible using a PLI/VPI shared library provided by Novas?

I don't think that SST2 (the format that is used in simvision) is public, so I'm not aware of third party waveform tools being able to read it.

spectreVerilog can also write out WSF (a pretty old public format), but I'd be surprised if any other waveform viewers bothered to support it these days.
