Could you try to clean and rebuild the project? See if it helps.

I'm having the same problem with 20.3.

Project -> Clean Project did not help.

\sim\mentor\common\modelsim_files.tcl does not get updated when I generate HDL or TB in Platform designer or compile the FPGA or Generate Testbench system.

What action causes this file to be created/updated?

    Sorry for idling for sometime. Do you able to solve the issue?

    Have you try go to Tools > Generate Simulator Setup Script for IP in the Quartus Pro? It should generate the modelsim _files.tcl for the IPs used.

      Customer able to solve the problem and the problem is for some reason system created a library 'work' where the newly compiled version of altpcietb_bfm_rp_gen2_x8.v was, but in executing, it used /libraries/work, where a previous compiled version was.
