PowerPlay Early power Estimator(EPE) for Arria10 device

Hi, 

I'm working on a design incorporates an Arria10 FPGA and I want to estimate the power consumption of Arria10. But I could not find the Arria10 corresponding PowerPlay Early power Estimator(EPE) tool on the Altera's Website.  

http://www.altera.com/support/devices/estimator/pow-powerplay.jsp?gsa_pos=5&wt.oss_r=1&wt.oss=early%20power%20estimator 

I wanna ask that whether the EPE tool for Arria10 is not avaliable for now and will it be avaliable in the near future. 

 

Another question is that without the EPE tool, how can I estimate the FPGA power consumption at the beginning of a design? How about to creat a Quartus project and write some impractical verilog files while using like 70% RAM,DSP,IO.etc resources and run the PowerPlay Power Analyzer in Quartus to estimate the power consumption of the FPGA? 

 

Thankyou！ :)
