post simulation does not support cyclone V?

[jihunmoon]

hi, i want to use post synthesis simulation (such as gate level simulation) in quartus.

I need sdo file from quartus to open in modelsim. But  I couldn't make sdo file and use this function with cyclone V in quartus. I read the quartus user guide and it said that post simulation doesn't support cyclone V. So I made sdo file and open it in modelsim with cycloen IV device.

I have a question. I think many people use cyclone V device, so is there a  no way to use post simulation with cyclone V device?? 

I 'm not saying about timing analysis in quartus. I'm saying about the post-sim using quartus and modelsim.

Hi @jihunmoon 

Gate-level timing simulation is supported only for the Arria II GX/GZ, Cyclone IV, MAX II, MAX V, and Stratix IV device families.

Unfortunately, the gate-level timing simulation is not supported for Cyclone V device. 

We recommend that you use Timing Analyzer rather than gate-level timing simulation with any simulator.

You may checkout the User Guide below on how-to use the Timing Analyzer:

The tool is useful in analysis you design and to meet timing.
