simulation stopped due to inactivity!

hello everybody:

recently I did some simulation in modelsim-altera6.5 according to AN532 downloaded from altera.com.First I built an sopc system including DMA Control,On Chip memory(RAM) and PCI Express.My quartus version is 9.1.Then I run the testbentch provided in the project folder.The result is in the attachement.

I don't understand why the value of DMA signal "length" is always"000000",and the simulation result shows"simulation stopped due to inactivity!",Can anyone figure out the reason?

    Can you show the source code? My guess is your clock generator is not running (either a race condition, or was not coded to start with).
