Honored ContributorError when using University Program VwF
I'm using Quartus 16.1
I want to simulate, but when I press Run functional simulation this error occur " Warning (18236): Number of processors has not been specified which may cause overloading on shared machines. Set the global assignment NUM_PARALLEL_PROCESSORS in your QSF to an appropriate value for best performance. Error (199014): Vector source file C:/Users/myusername/Desktop/veri/Waveform1.vwf specified with --testbench_vector_input_file option does not exist Error: Quartus Prime EDA Netlist Writer was unsuccessful. 1 error, 1 warning Error: Peak virtual memory: 471 megabytes Error: Processing ended: Fri Dec 30 22:56:30 2016 Error: Elapsed time: 00:00:01 Error: Total CPU time (on all processors): 00:00:01 Error.

Altera_ForumYou need to do these five things for Quartus simulation;
1) Tell Quartus to use ModelSim-Altera for the simulation tools (Assignments - EDA Tool Settings - Simulation). 2) Tell Quartus to generate a netlist for functional simulation (Assignments - EDA Tool Settings - Simulation - More EDA Netlist Writer Settings - Generate Functional Simulation Netlist - ON). 3) Tell Quartus to use VHDL for the simulation netlist (Assignments - EDA Tool Settings - Simulation - Format for Output Netlist - VHDL) 4) Tell Quartus where to put the simulation netlist (Assignments - EDA Tool Settings - Simulation - Output Directory). This is usually the "simulation" folder. 5) Tell the simulator (in the simulation waveform editor) to use VHDL for the netlist language (Simulation - Simulation Settings - Use VHDL). Good Luck.
