    Yeah, I have the same problem. I can't tell if this feature is provided by ModelSim, which I have installed, but perhaps not linked the 2 together. It all seems a bit cryptic.

    Looks like it'll be Xilinx after all.

    After wasting far too much time, it seems that 9.1 starter edition doesn't support quartus simulation or EDA simulation. This makes it about as useful as a steaming pile of manure. I can't be bothered with this nonsense.

    I don't exactly understand which "nonsense" you're talking about. ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition is available with all Quartus versions. Altera decided to cancel the integrated Quartus simulator - for all versions, starting with Quartus 10.0. It's already unsupported for some newer devices.

    Well, on re-reading, I may be being unfair. Considering the web edition feature list: http://www.altera.com/literature/po/ss-quartus_linuxwebbeta.pdf

    it tells me that Run EDA Simulation command is "Unsupported" but is available in a "Future Realease". The frustration I am having is not knowing how to run simulations. I'm sure there is a way with Modelsim, but all the documentation makes references to features and UI elements that simply don't exist in the version of Quartus II I am using.

    FvM, I'd be much obliged if you could shed some light or point me to the relevant bits of documentation.

    I wasn't aware of the fact, that Quartus Linux version is almost in a beta state, in so far I can understand your frustration. I'm not working with Linux for EDA purposes. I also don't know about the specifc differences in the Linux ModelSim flow. But in ModelSim, everything except viewing waveforms is based on command lines anyway.
