Yes, the simulator is extremely helpful for analysis. I started doing the analysis on paper, but it's very easy to make a mistake and end up confused. The simulator is also very helpful when trying to understand complicated state machines such as the bus control circuitry. So I plan to put more emphasis on simulation for future projects. The tradeoff is that it takes a lot more time up front to get the simulation working.
