Altera_ForumAre you referring to design functional simulation? If yes, I think the Modelsim Altera starter edition will be a good one to start with.

Table 2 from link below might give you some ideas regarding the simulations information:

Perhaps you may refer to the link below:
https://www.altera.com/support/support-resources/design-software/quartus-ii/simulation.html It would cover the simulation tools other than modelsim. For signal integrity check, you could have the IBIS simulation. - Altera_Forum
There are several tools
Modelsim Active hdl Ncsim These all require a license, but have lots of features. Some have cute down free version. There are a few free vhdl and verilog simulators, but they are mostly hobby projects, harder to use and no where near as fully featured. - Altera_Forum
Hi Metaboy,
If you are working with the Altera FPGA, I think the best would be to use the Modelsim Altera Starter edition because it is free and also come with pre-compiled Altera libraries which will ease you simulation. - Altera_Forum
Found that commands required to run simulation with modelsim. Where can I get the list of commands? Thanks.

Modelsim has full documentation in the /docs/ folder
