    Go to Tools > Options > EDA Tool Options.

    Check that the path to the ModelSim-Altera software is correctly set to: <install_directory>\win32aloem (for example, C:\intelFPGA\18.1\modelsim_ae\win32aloem)

    Thank you so much for the solution, now the modelsim is accessible automatically. However, I am not able to view the waveform. Do I need to add the variables to view waveform. Also, would you please tell me the difference between RTL simulation and Gate Level Simulation? I am sorry if my questions are very basic, I am a beginner therefore having many doubts.

    How about Quartus 11.1 version, I can't find any modelsim_ase folder in the installed directory.

    Please check the below image.

    Good morning,

    On my PC, I am using the version of 13.1 Quartus II software and I followed the above step as per this version . But still it's not working.

    and when we click the RTL simulation it shows "Native link error".
