Subject: Newbie Trouble Linking Hierarchical Design In Behavioral Compiler

Hi, John,

I am having some trouble with my design since I can not successfully to link
it because of unresolved references created by Behavioral Compiler.  I run
the Behavioral Compiler (compile_systemc , bc_time_design, and schedule
commands) on my behavioral submodules.  Everything goes in right.  But
after elaborating the Top, the link command fails.  The Behavioral Compiler
creates designs associated to submodules hierarchy ( group1_0, group 3_1,
loop_18 ... and so on) and some of these automatically created designs have
the same name while belonging to different submodules.  That results in
design name conflicts and causes the linker to attempt to link the reference
to the wrong design.  (Error LINK-1)  How to avoid this error?  I tried to
use command "rename_design" without success.  Any help would be very 
ppreciated.
