To continue the ModelSim-Altera flow, you can perform a functional simulation with the ModelSim-Altera software, and then you can perform a timing simulation with the ModelSim-Altera software. The libraries are created in the \simulation\modelsim directory or the location you specified in the Output directory box of the Simulation page in the Settings dialog box.īefore performing a functional or timing simulation, you should map to libraries and compile design files with the ModelSim-Altera software.

Note: When you run the ModelSim software automatically from the Quartus II software, your work library is automatically mapped to rtl_work for RTL simulation and gate_work for gate level simulation. To change the default library, type the following commands at the ModelSim prompt: ModelSim compiles the design files to library work by default. To create a new work library, type the following command at the ModelSim prompt: To set up a ModelSim project with command-line commands:Ĭhange to the directory where the ModelSim libraries are located after they are compiled. Note: When you run the ModelSim software independently from the Quartus II software, you should name your library work. In the Library Maps to list, select the work library. In the Library Name box, type the library name. 4.1 Empty greyish windows (XMonad) 4.2 USB-Blaster not working.

If not already using this ModelSim Altera Edition. If you are performing a timing simulation, the project directory is the \simulation\modelsim directory or the location you specified in the Output directory box of the Simulation page in the Settings dialog box. The Altera specific modules like PLLs, are easiest to simulate using the ModelSim Altera Edition (available with Altera Quar5us) which contains a number of pre-compiles libraries with packages and entities for the Altera specific blocks. Note: If you are performing a functional simulation, the project directory is usually the directory that contains the design files. In the Look in list, select the project directory. In the Directory Name box, type the path to the project directory. On the File menu, click Change Directory. If you have not already done so, set up the ModelSim-Altera working environment.
