Is feasible to load both Altera and Xilinx libraries to same Modelsim？

I need use Quartus II and ISE for Altera and Xilinx FPGA respectively. I have never load libraries from Xilinx and Altera, both of them, into Modelsim. I just wonder whether this is feasible&#65311...

Yes you can. It shouldn't be a problem

Thanks,Tricky. But I realized a problem. For loading Xilinx libraries, I use Simulation Library Compilation Wizard. After compilation, it generates a "modelsim.ini", it stores the directory for compiled libraries. For Altera libraries, I can use tcl script, or it seems latest Quartus also provide tool to compile library. Similarly, a "modelsim.ini" will be generated.

My approach is copying new "modelsim.ini" to Modelsim directory to replace older one, then the compiled libraries will appear in Modelsim when I run Modelsim. However, now there are two new "modelsim.ini" for Altera and Xilinx, how can I do in Modelsim to map all these libraries?

Thanks very much.
