How to simulate the FPGA neural network in Altera

I want to simulate the some kind of schematics that work by principle of neural networks. I have Altera Quadrus 11. But when trying create some verilog or vhdl code I see that compilation and simul...

The dsp blockset works like any other blockset in Simulink. Place Altera's blocks to create your system. Then simulate your result. You will need a license to generate HDL files from your design. Since you are doing this through the school, you should be able to get a student license or a 60 - day temporary license with the help of your professor. You can place a request with Altera to send you a license for DSP builder.

So make your circuit in Simulink using the dsp blockset from Altera. If you've never used simulink before, you should do a quick search, but basically it is a graphical flow program. You place blocks and connect them to indicate data flow/operation.

Not sure how Xilinx and Labview interface, but it is probably the same deal.
