Can I execute two msim_setup.tcl at once?

Hello,

I'm a beginner on FPGA filed.

I have two qsys files as below.

A : consist of a lot of avalon interface

B : EMIF for DDR3

A -> B -> DDR3

For simulation, Qurartus pro(21.3) makes two msim_setup.tcl files.

Using ug-20093-683305-666727.pdf, I executed msim_setup.tcl for A and msim_setup.tcl for B each.

As a result, modelsim showed 'files not found for A'.

When msim_setup.tcl for A was executed, I couldn't use files related for B.

When msim_setup.tcl for B was executed, I couldn't use files related for A.

Can you help me to solve this?

How are these systems connected together? You could add B as a subsystem of A and then just simulate the whole thing from A.
But it might make more sense to create the EMIF example design and simulate that separately to make sure that interface works, then integrate that into A or replace the default user logic of the example design with the logic from A.

Thank you very much for your help.
I tried to modify two .tcl files but the result was not good.
As you advice, I'm going to add B as the subsystem of A today only for simulation and then simulate them.
About modifying tcl files, I'll find another way when I have enough time later.
