Simulation errors in Quartus generated simulation script for VCS tool

[Suresh430]

Hi All, 

           Designed a platform with building blocks like HPS, OCM and HPS EMIF DDR. Executed the Quartus design simulation script for VCS tool. Encountered with  errors regarding quartus internal encrypted files.

Sorry for the delay.

Were you able to resolve the issue?

Do you need any further assistance from my side?

If possible, could you upgrade your design to the latest Quartus Pro version 25.1.1 and check if the issue still persists?

Regarding simulation, you might want to try removing the following line from your simulation script:

$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/eda/sim_lib/tennm_hssi_atoms_ncrypt.sv \

and keep only the non-encrypted simulation file:

$QUARTUS_INSTALL_DIR/eda/sim_lib/tennm_hssi_atoms.sv \

Let me know if this helps or if you encounter any further issues.
