2.4. Unsupported Features

The Intel® Quartus® Prime software does not support the following ModelSim® simulation features:
  • Intel® Quartus® Prime does not support companion licensing for ModelSim® .
  • The USB software guard is not supported by versions earlier than ModelSim® software version 5.8d.
  • For ModelSim® software versions prior to 5.5b, use the PCLS utility included with the software to set up the license.
  • Some versions of ModelSim® and QuestaSim support SystemVerilog, PSL assertions, SystemC, and more. For more information about specific feature support, refer to Mentor Graphics literature
