Why can't I do simuation?

When I tried to do simulation, a window popped out with the error:

"No simulation input file assignment specified on Simulator page of the Settings Dialog box".

I checked the '"Assignments->Settings", I found I included my vwf file into the project. Then, why can't I do simulation?....

Your advice and help are highly appreciated!

    Thank for reply.

    Do yo mean I should go to "Assignments->Settings->EDA Tool Settings->Simulation?

    No, that's for creating an output file to do simulations in a 3rd party tool. In the Assignments -> Settings box, along the left side where you see things like Files and EDA Tool Settings, there should be one called Simulator Settings, and you add the file there.

    I want to execute D_FF like this into DE1 kit, but I do not know to use clock pin, reset for KIT. Please, help me

    library ieee;

    use ieee.std_logic_1164.all;

    entity d_ff is

    port(

    clock: in std_logic;

    d: in std_logic;

    q: out std_logic

    );

    end d_ff;

    architecture arch_dff of d_ff is

    begin

    process(clock)

    begin

    if (clock'event and clock='1') then

    q <= d;

    end if;

    end process;

    end arch_dff;

    This doesn't work for my version Modelsim version 6.5b (has to use this version to simulate legacy AHDL code).

    I have several screen dump files in PNG-format that illustrates the issue, however this site doesn't accept png-format files. :(

    Hope to hear from you soon.
