Hi,
Quartus should be able to bring up the simulation, provided project settings are done correctly.
Please check.
- If you have added the <ip.sip> file in Quartus project. Just like .qip files is for Synthesis files, .sip has to be added for setting up simulation.
- Did you provided the testbench in Quartus Nativelink simulation settings
Refer to youtube video on exact steps need to be followed.

I can guide you on this if you still facing issue.
Secondly for your own custom script, you can refer to auto-generated script for NCO IP to get an idea how to copy .hex files, in Modelsim do script add following lines to automatically copy over the .he files.
file copy -force <source path>my_nco1/simulation/submodules/my_nco1_nco_ii_0_sin.hex ./<destination path>
file copy -force <source path>my_nco1/simulation/submodules/my_nco1_nco_ii_0_cos.hex ./<destination path>
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Arslan
