error in ModelSim?

I am using Quartus II 64-Bit Version 13.0.1 to change a design for a MAX3000a series chip and I want to simulate it with ModelSim-Altera which is contained in the Quartus II software. Simulation fo...

    Hi,


    Inside the testbench myProject_tb_1.v, make sure the module name also myProject_tb_1.


    Thanks,

    Regards,

Hi,


Could you archive the project in a .qar file and provide to me?


Thanks,

    Hi,

    attached all files of my project in a tar file.

    After defining the input data in the wave editor I exported the testbench (myProject_tb) according to the document

    "Creating Testbench using ModelSim-Altera Wave Editor".

    Then I defined the testbench within Quartus II according to the document

    "Simulating in ModelSim-Altera Edition using NativeLink".

    Then I called modelsim from Quartus II (Tools / Run Simulation Tool / Gate Level Simulation...). But, as reported, in the wave window all inputs were HiZ and simulation stopped at 24 ns.

    Meanwhile problems got more:

    I was fighting with the sequence of names in the wave window. Initially they were sorted totally mixed up. Now I achieved a reasonable functionally grouped sequence by editing the file wave.do. After these editings calling modelsim I get the following error.

    # ** Error: (vsim-3170) Could not find 'H:/Arduino/Quartus-Projekte/myProject/simulation/modelsim/gate_work.myProjekt'.
# 
# Error loading design

    Hopefully you can give me some tipps how to get the simulation running.

    Thank you for your effort.
