Problems with Timing simulation in ModelSim

[Altera_Forum]

I tried to perform timing simulation but encountered some problems. I have a module and a testbench for it. I have compiled module in QuartusII (in EDA Tools Setting -> Simulation I set Compile Test Bench parameter). Then in Modelsim I have create project and added into it module source file, testbench source, *.vho-file. Modelsim compilation succeeded. Then in parameters of simulation I pointed on SDO-file (created by QuartusII after compilation). But simulation was unsuccessful. Here is errors:

I cant undersatnd where is the problem. Can enyone help me?

PS: functional simulation with this module and testbench was successeful.

************************

I’ve solved this problem. The core of it was that in post-synthesis model there are no any generics – they all already described in vho-file. So, you have to comment all generic statements in testbench source. Hope it will help somebody
