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...

At the top of modelsim.ini are the mappings to Modelsim libraries. You can ignore the generated modelsim.ini files, and create your own Tcl script that sets up these mappings.

The Modelsim command is

vmap <libname> <libpath>

If you wanted to automate the process, have your Tcl script parse the generated modelsim.ini files, and issue vmap for each of the generated libraries. The calls to vmap will edit your master modelsim.ini file.

Thanks, Dave.

I have another question. In each simulation work directory, it needs a "modelsim.ini" to tell Modelsim where the compiled libraries are. Why we still need a "modelsim.ini" in Modelsim installation directory? Or say in another way, what is the usage of "modelsim.ini" in Modelsim installation directory?

Thanks very much.
