How to simulate TDF with ModelSim Altera ?

Hi, 

 

I'm trying to use ModelSim-Altera to simulate a design that contains TDF design files. 

 

I have no problem simulating Verilog files with the ModelSim SW directly (not passing through QuartusII). using a behavioral test bench. 

 

However, when TDF files are introduced, obviously ModelSim can't compile them. 

 

so trying to compile my files in quartusII, but since the TB is not synthesizable, I get an error that the file contains no logic ! 

 

so, the question is: 

How do I simulate in modelsim a behavioral testbench that contains a design with AHDL files ??? 

 

Thanks

ok. found the problem 

 

I used "Compile and Synthesize" in QuartusII, instead of "Compile and Elaborate" 

 

now things are working :)
