ModelSim - Force statement in testbench

[Altera_Forum]

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
