How can I force a node in the vhdl code during simulation. 

 

tried this in test bench, no luck, get unknown identifier. 

 

nc_force ("I1:mode1", '1'); 

 

I can do i manually in the modelsim window: 

force -freeze I1\mode1 1 

 

I would prefer have the command in the testbench file

nc_force is a Cadence specific library function 

I don't think it is supported in ModelSim 

In ModelSim, it has its own version of nc_force 

Look up signal_spy in ModelSim manual
