Are you talking about HDL simulation or post place and route simulation?
FOr HDL sim you just compile all the files with vcom(vhdl) or vlog(verilog) and then vsim the component (the testbench) you want to simulate. libraries can be setup with vlib and Vmap. Modelsim project files are a waste of time.

Thanks, Tricky. So I think you suggested me to use tcl command instead of using GUI. Let me make my question more clear. I need to do simulation in both HDL level and Post PR level.
In most cases, my designs adopts many soft IP cores (PCIe, FIR, Coding and decoding). My designs also adopts some hard IP cores (Gigbit transceivers). And my designs will be in a series device, e.g, Starix V.
If I want to simulate in HDL levels, based on my understanding I need assign libraries, which Modelsim needed, for simulation. If I want to simulate in Post PR level, I also need to assign libraries in Modelsim, but these libraries may be different from which needed in HDL simulation. This is my understanding, it may be wrong?
So now my question is: there are so many compiled libraries in Modelsim, how can I know which are needed for my designs? Does this must be done by manually? Or there is a better approach, that can be done automatically?
