simulating Altera Reed-Solomon IP

Hello community,

I am using Quartus II 64-bit version 15.0.1, and trying to evaluate the Altera Reed-Solomon IP.

When I simulate a testbench program , Modelsim-Altera (Starter Edition 10.3d) reports

# Loading work.reed_solomon_encoder(syn)# ** Warning: (vsim-3473) Component instance "auk_rs_enc_top_atl_inst : auk_rs_enc_top_atl" is not bound.

then it gives warnings arising from my code, similar to:

# ** Warning: (vsim-8684) No drivers exist on out port /tibc_tb/uut/rs_enc/rsout, and its initial value is not used.

which I assume result from the problem identified in the previous warning. (and of course nothing happens)

Can anyone please explain how to run such a simulation, or else point me to the correct documentation?

I see there are some TCL scripts in the generated files directory, but after reading through the documentation I still cannot figure out what to do with them...so this may just be something trivial.

Thanks
