    Did the assembler complete without any error or warnings? Check in the settings that there isn't a specific directory set up for the Quartus project's output file.

    If you are targeting an "Advanced" or "Initial Device" for the version of quartus, you can not generate the SOF file. For version 11.0 this is usually the Stratix V at this point.

    If you really need the device support, (IE you have devices in house). Either upgrade to the latest version of quartus, or contact your rep to see if you can get pre-release patch to turn on SOF generation for the family you are targeting..
