Undefined module: altera_pll was used

Hello, 

I'm simulating a Quartus design in Active-HDL and I'm getting the following error: 

 

Undefined module: altera_pll was used. Port connection rules will not be checked at such instantiations. 

 

Where can the altera_pll simulation be found, so I can add it to the project? 

 

Thanks,

If you want to simulate your PLL you have to use the <pll_megacore_name>.vho or <pll_megacore_name>.vo file in the <pll_megacore_name>_sim directory and used the Altera library altera_lnsim.

Hello, 

 

I also have a same problem. I've used .vo file and altera_lnsim.sv file. Then I've seen a message like below. 

# ** Warning: (vsim-3017) <work_area>/sim_PLL_ArriaV/RTL/ALT_PLL_CLK.vo(51): [TFMPC] - Too few port connections. Expected 25, found 5. 

 

ALT_PLL_CLK.vo is a generated file. I've checked altera_lnsim.sv file and there were 25 ports in the altera_pll 

module. But there are only 5 ports in altera_pll in ALT_PLL_CLK.vo. 

 

Could you tell me what is a problem?
