modelsim altera web edition

[Altera_Forum]

can we perform a timing simulation for our design using the modelsim altera web edition? if yes can anybody plz suggest me a good tutorial page for the same? [i absolutely loved the 4 hours quartus web training module.. but alas... it gave very little info on using modelsim]

Yes, you can perform timing simulation with .vho (netlist de simulation timing) with .sdo (standard delay ) files generated by quartus. See Quartus->Assignment->EDA tool settings -> simulation -> tool name, choos Modelsim Altera. 

And then, Quartus -> Processing -> start -> start EDA netlist writer.  but, this type of simulation will take 100x of functional simulation time  In Modelsim, you can associate .sdo :  File -> add to project -> add simulation configuration -> in SDF tab, click add... add your .sdo file (located in project_dir\simulation\modelsim) in design tab, change resolution to ps (picosecond).

1. Create your waveform vector file in Quartus II 

2. Export this file to vhdl test bench (file->export) 3. Click, asssigments->settings->EDA tool settings->Simulation , choose modelsim altera.   chooose compile test bench in native link settings panel, click test benches, click new,      chosse any name for test bench, in test bench entity write: <your_top_level_entity>_vec_tst   in instance name write : i1  chosee the file generated in step 1 in test bench files.  3. Compile your project.  4. click, tools->eda simulation tools: run eda rtl simulation for functional simulation or run eda gate level simulation for timing simulation.   After this steps quartus ii opens modelsim an starts the simulation.
