I am new to the Electric tool. I am curious to know if Electric can read in a

someone please provide some pointers in this regard ? thanks in advance
for your help.

Electric can read VHDL, compile it to a netlist, and simulate that netlist. The problems with this are (1) it can only handle structural VHDL, not behavioral VHDL and (2) its simulator, ALS, is old and not as good as some modern ones.
