Quartus Prime Lite - ModelSim Functional Simulation error

[curtisg63]

When running Functional Simulation on a vwf file generated in Quartus Prime Lite v20.1, I get this error:

** Error (suppressible): (vsim-12110) The -novopt option has no effect on this product.

I'm not sure how to fix this problem even after doing much online searching.

can you attached your design.qar file to have a look?

Kenny,

I got that resolved.. now I get this error(s).  Sorry but I've spent hours and hours trying to play whack a mole with one fix, then I get other errors.  I've looked at multiple sites for download hints, etc.. and it's really a convoluted process.  I have the MaxV libs in the path under EDA settings or at least I think I do.  I uninstalled 20.3 and installed 17.1 thinking it might work better:

Error.

Where is the design.qar file located?

Hi Curt,

Project -> Archive project and then name it and click “Archive”.

Thanks

This is most probably you do not have all the device install, which is an old bug.

Can you try to install the latest release Quartus with all the device?

[Kenny_Tan]

any update?

[curtisg63]

Yes I solved it myself.  I had two \work folders( \work\work\ ) somehow so I was getting a warning which led to the error. Consider it closed. 

Thanks.
