I assume you do analog function verification with verilog-AMS. If you choose cadence tool, you need ncvlog/ncelab/ncsim and spectre simulator. ncvlog/ncelab/ncsim are integrated in IUS stream, which is combined in INCISIVE stream since INCISIVE 9.x. You need IC stream (ic 5.x or ic 6.x) or MMSIM for spectre simulator.

Neetirajgor,
Simulators are Spectre or - for large designs - APS and UltraSim Fast SPICE. They all support analog modeling using Verilog-A. If you need digital as well, you should go for Verilog-AMS (or perhaps VHDL-AMS) using the simulators ywguo mentioned.
If you are interested in Methodology/Design Flow, e.g. use of digital design methodology for analog blocks, you should check the digital tools. There used to be attempts to extend them to mixed-signal designs - don't know about their status though.
