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 questions you are asking me here are very fundamental. You need to have some baseline understanding of theory to know what you are doing:

1) Here is an intro to FPGAs. You can google all of this (and more) information online. http://www.tkt.cs.tut.fi/kurssit/1426/s11/lectures/tkt-1426_lect_5.pdf

2) Everything done in FPGAs is in Z - domain: http://dea.brunel.ac.uk/cmsp/home_saeed_vaseghi/chapter04-z-transform.pdf

You need to have some understanding of what a transfer function is and its properties, at least in the continuous s - domain.

3) The purpose of a reset is to easily set register states to some initial condition without recompiling the simulation. Essentially you want to define what T(0) is.

You really need to understand these concepts first before jumping into FPGAs, but we all learn as we go.
