    Hi @Vicky​ ,

    However, I found a workaround that works quite ok. So instead of calling qsys-generate within Modelsim, I execute a tcl script in quartus that first executes the qsys-generate and when all the sources are generated, launches Modelsim with an attached do file, for setting up the simulation environment and compilation dependencies.

    Cheers
