Failed to transfer to modelsim

In the .mdl file,when I used the Testbench model to run modelsim, errers were found in modelsim:

# Reading D:/altera/71/modelsim_ae/tcl/vsim/pref.tcl

# source tb_mymodel.tcl

# Loading project DspBuilder

# vsim -quiet -t {1 ps} work.tb_mymodel_GN2124

# ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation ******.

# Error loading design

# Unrecognized dataset prefix: sim

what's the matter?

Thanks!

    Was the error line you stated

    # ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation

    actually

    # ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation license?

    Looks a bit similar too the normal modelsim failure if your license file is not setup properly.

    Have a look here

    For info on how to setup the license files and environment variables

    I am sorry. Yes，the error is # ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation license.

    I used the same version number for QuartusII and Modelsim, and its license files and environment variables should be right , I used it before. I will check it too.

    Thanks，I solved the problem. My license was incomplete, and I have updated it. Now it's OK.
