To set up a ModelSim® - Intel® FPGA Edition project at Command Line

  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. Change to the directory where the ModelSim® - Intel® FPGA Edition libraries are located after they are compiled.
  4. To create a new work library, type the following command at the ModelSim® prompt: vlib work

    ModelSim® - Intel® FPGA Edition compiles the design files to library work by default.

  5. 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® - Intel® FPGA Edition software automatically from the Intel® 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.
  6. 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.
