As what Bhaumik pointed out, you might be missing some libraries or simulation models.
Try to find the required files at your $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/quartus/eda/sim_lib folders.
Probably you need:
1. altera_mf.v
2. altera_lnsim.sv
3. stratixiv_atoms.v
You will need to compile the above files together before running simulation.

Thank you. I checked, and all three of this files are present.

Hello,
Let's try to first solve issue with ALTPLL. You should be able to solve it by adding following library : altera_lnsim_ver. Does this name appear in your list of libraries?
Now, question is where to add this? If you are using do file then, following command should help. vsim -L <library_name>. This -L command is used to search library for design units instantiated from Verilog and for VHDL default component binding.
Please try this item and be relaxed. We should be able to solve this.
Have a Good Day!

Thank you. This name does appear in my list of libraries (along with the other two that were mentioned mikedsouze). I tried right clicking on the component and selecting 'Simulate', and it failed as expected. I then added the flags you suggested, but it appears that I am having the same issue?
