From: [ A Synopsys DW R&D Engineer ]

John,

  VSS is capable of outputting VCD (Verilog Change Dump) files instead of/
in addition to its normal format.  The two commands required (on the
simulator command line) are "vcdfile <filename>" and "vcdaddobjects 0
<path>".  The command

  vcdaddobjects 0 *'signal

will trace all signals at the current level of hierarchy.
