Running a simulation in Modelsim

Altera_Forum · ‎07-02-2015

Hi,

Appreciate your help regarding running simulations in Modelsim. I have a set of modelsim files that runs on modelsim altera starter edition version 10.0c. I have check and it works. It doesn't run on other versions.

I tried to run the simulation with code coverage in modelsim SE but got errors relating to incompatible libraries. I know that the modelsim simulation contains references to some custom pre-compiled libraries.

May I know if anyone did similar simulations before and can it be done?

Thanks.

make sure the Quartus II version that used to generate the modelsim files is compatible with it's modelsim version.

OFten you can right click on the library and click "refresh" and it will try and compile the library for the current version.

Hi, I do not have the source files for some libraries, so when I click refresh, I got a "file not found" error.

Please check the Quartus compability version in the <modelsim install path>/altera/version.txt

ModelSim altera starter edition 10.0c is compatible with Quartus II 11.1 .

If you are not using Quartus II 11.1, you may need to upgrade the modelsim to compatible with your Quartus II version.

Below are the text from <modelsim install path>/altera/version.txt for Quartus II 11.1.
