ip-setup-simulation custom ip components

running ip-setup-simulation to create a top level set of sim files, fails with a lot of these messages

Error: 2022.02.10.10:43:27 Error: SPD file C:/final/xxxxx/alt_clk_for_cdr\alt_clk_for_cdr.spd not found. Please generate simulation files for IP file C:/final/xxxxx/alt_clk_for_cdr.ip before generating simulator setup scripts.

i have no ability to actually create sim scripts for all thee IP blocks ( some are part of a JESD example project and some are custom ip componets I've written )

i dont actually want to simulate any of the chunk that fail as they are mainly part of a PCIe backend that i can emulate in a different way for the purposes of test benches

how do i work around this?

    Hi @AndyRea

    Which Quartus version (standard /pro) and device are you using?

    Before Generate Simulator Setup Script for IP ( ip-setup-simulation utility at the command-line), have you Generate HDL for the Intel IP or qsys files?

    You may checkout the section below for further details.
