- If you have not already done so, set up the
ModelSim-Intel FPGA Edition working environment.
- Start the ModelSim software.
- Change to the directory where the ModelSim libraries are located
after they are compiled.
- To create a new work library, type the following command at the ModelSim prompt:
vlib work
ModelSim compiles the design files to library work by default.
- To change the default library, type the following commands at
the ModelSim prompt:
vlib< user defined library >
vmapwork< user defined library >
Note: When you run the ModelSim software automatically from the Quartus® Prime software, your work library is automatically mapped to rtl_work for RTL simulation and gate_work for gate level
simulation. The libraries are created in the <project directory>\simulation\modelsim directory or the location you specified in the Output
directory box of the Simulation page in theSettings dialog box.
- Before performing a functional or timing simulation, you should map to libraries and compile design files with the ModelSim-Intel FPGA Edition software.
To continue the ModelSim-Intel FPGA Edition flow, you can perform a functional simulation with the ModelSim-Intel FPGA Edition software, and then you can perform a timing simulation with the ModelSim-Intel FPGA Edition
software.
