## Local Work Area Directory Structure

Design Architect software automatically creates and maintains the project directory structure required for all stages of design entry. Galileo Extreme, Leonardo, and ENWrite software create a max2 subdirectory, if it does not already exist, under the project directory. These software applications also generate EDIF netlist files, and copy them from the <project name> directory to this max2 subdirectory. All MAX+PLUS® II Compiler output files are created in the max2 subdirectory.

Simulation files created with Mentor Graphics applications and Logic Modeling files are located in the board-level simulation subdirectory of the project directory. You can use these files during simulation with QuickSim II software.

The only directory you need to create is the local work directory, which should contain all project directories. Figure 1 shows the recommended file structure.
