Hello, everyone,
I get this error when I try to simulate the behavior of a state machine:
Determining the location of the ModelSim executable...
Using: C:\intelFPGA_lite\20.1\modelsim_ase\win32aloem
To specify a ModelSim executable directory, select: Tools -> Options -> EDA Tool Options
Note: if both ModelSim-Altera and ModelSim executables are available, ModelSim-Altera will be used.

Error.
I'm teaching VHDL and I need this to work for my courses and lab session. I used this tool regularely with Quartus18 and I never had this problem.
Please help me.

I able to run the simulation though. I run full compilation, open waveform.vwf file.
In the simulation > simulation setting, remove the -novopt in the modelsim script.
Run functional simulation and the simulation result will be shown.
