11 years ago --- Quote Start --- A request. How would the same simulation be done using the GUI? I tried a few times a few different ways. Lots of compile errors. --- Quote End --- I've no idea, since I never run Modelsim from the Quartus GUI. What is the reason you want to run Modelsim from Quartus? To some degree, the tools have separate purposes; you use Modelsim to design your HDL code via testbenches, and then use Quartus for synthesis (which checks you have used synthesizeable HDL code). The lines begin to blur a little when you start to use Quartus to create HDL for you, eg., a Qsys system, but even then, you can have the Quartus GUI open and the Modelsim window open, and not need Quartus to launch Modelsim for you. In fact that would be a pain, since you would have to repopulate the Modelsim wave window each time Quartus relaunched it. Cheers, Dave
