To perform a timing simulation with command-line commands

To perform a gate-level functional simulation of a Verilog HDL or VHDL design with the Mentor Graphics® ModelSim® (OEM) software with command-line commands:

Note:

You can use batch files to set up and compile each of the libraries automatically. Copy all the commands displayed in the ModelSim® - Intel® FPGA Edition or ModelSim® PE or SE main window into a text file and name the file with a .do extension (that is,<file name>.do). Use this script to recompile the libraries if you update them.

To run a macro script:

  1. From the Mentor Graphics® ModelSim® main window, choose Execute Macro.
  2. In the Execute Do File dialog box, locate your ModelSim® macro file (.do).
  3. Click Open.
  1. If you have not already done so, compile libraries and design files with the ModelSim® software.
  2. If your design contains device-wide reset or device power up signals, and if you have not already done so, set up the signals in the .vo or .svo or set up the signals in the .vho.
  3. Perform the gate-level functional simulation in the ModelSim® software.
