Vector waveform file and timing simulation resolution

[Altera_Forum]

I'm trying to change the simulation resolution from 1ps in Quartus Prime 17.0 Lite Edition to 10ps or 100ps. I changed the '-t' option in the vsim line in the simulation settings like this: vsim -novopt -c -t 100ps -L maxv -L altera -L altera_mf -L 220model -L sgate -L altera_lnsim work.myFile_vhd_vec_tst  

Any setting apart from 1ps causes Quartus to crash and exit to Windows.   For reference the ModelSim script working with 1ps is below:     onerror {exit -code 1} vlib work vcom -work work myCPLD.vho vcom -work work testSPI.vwf.vht vsim -novopt -c -t 1ps -L maxv -L altera -L altera_mf -L 220model -L sgate -L altera_lnsim work.myCPLD_vhd_vec_tst vcd file -direction myCPLD.msim.vcd vcd add -internal myCPLD_vhd_vec_tst/* vcd add -internal myCPLD_vhd_vec_tst/i1/* proc simTimestamp {} { echo "Simulation time: $::now ps" if { ] } { after 2500 simTimestamp } } after 2500 simTimestamp run -all quit -f    The last thing I see before it crashes is: # do myCPLD.do# ** Warning: (vlib-34) Library already exists at "work".# Model Technology ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition vcom 10.5b Compiler 2016.10 Oct 5 2016# Start time: 13:09:47 on Jun 21,2017# vcom -work work myCPLD.vho # -- Loading package STANDARD# -- Loading package TEXTIO # -- Loading package std_logic_1164# -- Loading package VITAL_Timing# -- Loading package VITAL_Primitives# -- Loading package maxv_atom_pack# -- Loading package maxv_components# -- Compiling entity myCPLD# -- Compiling architecture structure of myCPLD # End time: 13:09:48 on Jun 21,2017, Elapsed time: 0:00:01# Errors: 0, Warnings: 0# Model Technology ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition vcom 10.5b Compiler 2016.10 Oct 5 2016# Start time: 13:09:48 on Jun 21,2017# vcom -work work testSPI.vwf.vht # -- Loading package STANDARD # -- Loading package TEXTIO# -- Loading package std_logic_1164# -- Compiling entity myCPLD_vhd_vec_tst# -- Compiling architecture myCPLD_arch of myCPLD_vhd_vec_tst# End time: 13:09:48 on Jun 21,2017, Elapsed time: 0:00:00# Errors: 0, Warnings: 0 # vsim -novopt -c -t 1ps -L maxv -L altera -L altera_mf -L 220model -L sgate -L altera_lnsim work.myCPLD_vhd_vec_tst # Start time: 13:09:48 on Jun 21,2017# Loading std.standard# Loading std.textio(body)# Loading ieee.std_logic_1164(body)# Loading work.mycpld_vhd_vec_tst(mycpld_arch)# Loading ieee.vital_timing(body)# Loading ieee.vital_primitives(body)# Loading maxv.maxv_atom_pack(body)# Loading maxv.maxv_components# Loading work.mycpld(structure)# Loading ieee.std_logic_arith(body)# Loading maxv.maxv_io(behave)# Loading maxv.maxv_lcell(vital_le_atom)# Loading maxv.maxv_asynch_lcell(vital_le)# Loading maxv.maxv_lcell_register(vital_le_reg)# ** Warning: Design size of 140403 statements exceeds ModelSim-Intel FPGA Starter Edition recommended capacity.# Expect performance to be adversely affected.# after#31 # Simulation time: 225000 ps # Simulation time: 225000 ps # Simulation time: 225000 ps # Simulation time: 225000 ps # Simulation time: 225000 ps # End time: 13:10:03 on Jun 21,2017, Elapsed time: 0:00:15# Errors: 0, Warnings: 1 Completed successfully. **** Converting ModelSim VCD to vector waveform **** Reading C:/....testSPI.vwf......
