Simulation
does not help, when the design does not fit in the FPGA
you are using.
True, but your compilation tools _will_ tell you that.
Maybe. Depends on what "does not fit" means here.
If it means "needs more gates (or whatever) than", yes.
If it means "critical pieces of the design cannot be implemented in
FPGA at all", then they probably cannot be represented to the
compilation tool either and thus it can't even be aware they exist.
