Hi,
thanks for your update. Glad to hear that the IP generated example design is working. It means that no issue with your Modelsim simulator and built in libraries.
Based on your latest description, it is rather difficult to tell what might be wrong. But the following are some possible things that you can look into:
1. When you generate the HDL for the IP, remember to generate the simulation model as well.
2. By default, the msim_setup.tcl generated for an IP, is tailored to it. If you have multiple instances, then you will need to create a customized msim_setup.tcl which will compile all the instances in your design.
3. Following #2, you can use "Generate Simulator Script for IP" to generate a combined simulation script for all the instances in your design as workaround.
4. To ease the start, I would suggest that you start with simple one FFT instance in design, get pass the simulation. You can feed dummy data as start. Then slowly add more instance in simulation.
Hopefully these will be helpful.
Please let me know if there is any concern. Thank you.
Best regards,

Hi, Thank you for your reply.
I'm still stuck, I don't know how to fix the problem. These are the steps that I'm following to simulate the FFT Core, please tell me what I'm doing wrong:
1. Select device (Cyclone V GX starter kit)
2. New Schematic
3. FFT IP
3.1 Modify the features
3.2 Generate HDL
3.3 Generate-> Generate Testbench Model
4 Assignments-> Files-> Add All
5 Start Analysis and elaboration
6 Select generated Testbench in 3.3 (VHDL)
7 Simulation-> Run RTL Simulation
---ModelSim: error vsim 3033...
Best regards
