    with your .bdf open, go to File > Create / Update > Create HDL Design File from Current File, then instantiate the generated HDL in your test bench, and simulate in ModelSim

    the time before i took a test ,and found that only with the two files ,one is .v file generated from the LPM block(Create HDL Design File from Current File) ,another one is test bench .v for the first one.The two add into Modelsim for a simulation ,

    but# Error loading design happened , maybe some net friends are right ,this problem refer to the library about the LPM ,we should add other library and compile the library . for more help ,thanks a lot.
