Table 1. ModelSim Technical Support Resources Support Description Altera Troubleshooters Simulating Altera Designs With the ModelSim Software Software Licensing These troubleshooters are interactive tools that help resolve your simulation and licensing issues by presenting a series of questions and providing possible solutions. Download ModelSim-Altera Software The download center provides the latest software and libraries to ensure a successful simulation. ModelSim-Altera Pre-Compiled Libraries This list provides pre-compiled library names and descriptions for ModelSim-Altera functional and post-fitting simulations. Altera Functional Simulation Libraries Altera Post-Fitting Libraries These lists provide library names and descriptions for Altera functional and post-fitting simulations. These library files are intended to be used in ModelSim PE and SE and in other third-party simulators. ModelSim-Altera Operating System Support The operating system support pages include release notes that describe known issues in the ModelSim-Altera software. mySupport mySupport is a technical support area where users can create, view, and update service requests including simulation issues.   Table 2. Simulation Information and Examples Resources Description Mentor Graphics ModelSim Support (PDF) This comprehensive chapter from the Quartus® II Development Software Handbook provides step-by-step instructions for performing functional register transfer level (RTL), functional post-synthesis, or post-fitting timing simulations with the ModelSim-Altera and ModelSim simulators. Using the ModelSim Software With the Quartus II Software These web pages provide detailed step-by-step procedures to perform functional and timing simulations with ModelSim-Altera and ModelSim simulators. Using the NativeLink® feature With Other EDA Tools These web pages provide a series of detailed step-by-step procedures to run third-party tools, including the ModelSim software, from the Quartus II software on a PC or UNIX platform. ModelSim Tcl Scripting Examples These Tcl scripting examples illustrate how to set up Altera simulation libraries with ModelSim SE/PE versions and how to perform simulation. ModelSim On-Line Demonstration The ModelSim online video provides a quick overview and demonstration of using the ModelSim-Altera simulator with the Quartus II software. Quartus II Installation & Licensing for PCs Manual (PDF) Quartus II Installation & Licensing for UNIX and Linux Workstations (PDF) These manuals provide instructions for installing the ModelSim-Altera software. The installation manual for UNIX also includes steps for using the NativeLink feature in the Quartus II software, which allows you to run third-party tools from the Quartus II software. Simulating Nios® II Embedded Processor Designs (PDF) This application note describes the process of setting up and running an RTL simulation in the ModelSim simulator using Nios II example designs, SOPC Builder, and the Nios II integrated development environment (IDE). ModelSim Tutorial This tutorial developed by Mentor Graphics provides lessons on using the ModelSim simulator. ModelSim Command Reference This command reference manual developed by Mentor Graphics describes all ModelSim commands. ModelSim User's Manual This user's manual developed by Mentor Graphics provides details on ModelSim features.
