Why does ModelSim* simulator stop unexpectedly when simulating the 25G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP design example with "enable 10G/25G dynamic rate switching"?

Due to a problem with the 25G Ethernet Intel® FPGA IP in the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software version 18.1, the design example with "enable 10G/25G dynamic rate switching"  selected might stop unexpectedly in the ModelSim* simulator.  

The ModelSim transcript stops at the following simulation stages:

• # Switching to 25G mode : 25G Reconfig start
• # Switching to 25G mode : 25G Reconfig End
• #Waiting for RX alignment  

To work around this problem, modify run_vsim.do of the design example in the following directory:

• alt_e25s10_0_example_design\example_testbench\run_vsim.do

In run_vsim.do, find "elab" and replace with "elab_debug"

• elab to elab_debug

This problem is scheduled to be fixed in a future version of the Intel® Quartus® Prime Pro Edition Software.
