New ContributorError: (vsim-3033): Instantiation of 'cycloneii_asmiblock' failed. The design unit was not found.
Problem background：
I'm using a Cyclone 4 FPGA (EP4CE40 series FPGA). I used the MegaWizard to create the ALTASMI_PARALLEL component. I want to use this so I can program the EPCS4 serial memory from my external Flash.
I need to simulate my logic that is used to write data in and out to the ASMI block. The logic synthesizes correctly, but when I send it out to Modelsim （Directly call Modelsim from Quartus for simulation）to see how it works I get the following error（As shown in the following figure）:
** Error: (vsim-3033) C:/altera_designs/fpga_factory_config/asmi.v(330): Instantiation of 'cycloneii_asmiblock' failed. The design unit was not found.
The screenshot of the engineering file in Quartus is as follows
The Modelsim simulation configuration file is as follows:
So what is missing? Where can I find cycloneii_asmiblock? How should I configure it？
Thank you！

Have you try to simulate using the Nativelink feature to automatically compile your design, Altere IP, simulation model libraries and testbench?
