Hello,

I am running a back-annotated timing simulation with Modelsim, on the
post-placement&routing VHDL code generated by ISE(Xilinx tool). This
VHDL code does not have the initial design signal names or structures,
as it comprises only by device-specific components instantiations.
This makes debugging very hard.

Does anyone know how I can find the correspondance between initial
signals' names and post-routed signals? Does ISE provide this
information?

Thank you in advance

You can possibly preserve a few specific signal names by adding "keep"
attributes.
