Does your top-level schematic file have the same name as your project? 

 

If not, you need to set it explicitly in Assignments -> Settings -> General in Quartus II main menu. 

 

If there is problem with hierarchy, check your design to make sure every sub-module is instantiated correctly.

have you output the top level schematic as an HDL file? Modelsim cannot simulate schematic files.
