Is Timer Simulation Possible in IAR Embedded Workbench?

Hi,

I am trying to get familiar with the MSP430 and I wanted to generate
periodic interrupts using timer_A in simulator mode of IAR Embedded Workbrnch. The problem is that timer_A
doesn't advance, no matter what I do.

I am using IAR Embedded Workbench and I run simulation using C-Spy.
The processor is MSP430F2013. The code I am using is:

#include <msp430x20x3.h>

void main(void)
{
  WDTCTL = WDTPW + WDTHOLD;                 // Stop WDT
  P1DIR |= 0x01;                            // P1.0 output
  CCTL0 = CCIE;                             // CCR0 interrupt enabled
  CCR0 = 50000;
  TACTL = TASSEL_2 + MC_2;                  // SMCLK, contmode

  _BIS_SR(GIE);                 // Enter LPM0 w/ interrupt

for(;;);
}

// Timer A0 interrupt service routine
#pragma vector=TIMERA0_VECTOR
__interrupt void Timer_A (void)
{
  P1OUT ^= 0x01;                            // Toggle P1.0
  CCR0 += 50000;                            // Add Offset to CCR0
}

and I expect to see timer_A (TAR register) incrementing

Can someone please tell me what am I doing wrong?

Is it possible to simulate Timer in IAR Embedded Workbench?

Thank you,
