1. Create your waveform vector file in Quartus II
2. Export this file to vhdl test bench (file->export)
3. Click, asssigments->settings->EDA tool settings->Simulation , choose modelsim altera.
chooose compile test bench in native link settings panel, click test benches, click new,
chosse any name for test bench, in test bench entity write: <your_top_level_entity>_vec_tst
in instance name write : i1
chosee the file generated in step 1 in test bench files.
3. Compile your project.
4. click, tools->eda simulation tools: run eda rtl simulation for functional simulation or run eda gate level simulation for timing simulation.
After this steps quartus ii opens modelsim an starts the simulation.
