To set up a ModelSim - Intel FPGA Edition project with the GUI

  1. If you have not already done so, set up the ModelSim® - Intel® FPGA Edition working environment.
  2. Start the ModelSim® - Intel® FPGA Edition software.
  3. Specify the project directory:
    1. Click File > Change Directory.
    2. In the Directory Name box, type the path to the project directory.
      Alternatively, select the project directory from the Look in list
    3. Click Open.
    Note: If you are performing a functional simulation, the project directory is usually the directory that contains the design files. If you are performing a timing simulation, the project directory is the <project directory>\simulation\modelsim directory or the location you specified in the Output directory box of the Simulation page in the Settings dialog box.
  4. Create a new work library:
    1. Click File > New > Library. The Create a New Library dialog box appears.
    2. Under Create, click a new library and a logical mapping to it.
    3. In the Library Name box, type the library name.
    4. In the Library Maps to list, select the work library.
Note: When you run the ModelSim® - Intel® FPGA Edition software independently from the Intel® Quartus® Prime software, you should name your library work.
