Is it possible to simulate the FFT IP core inside Quartus

I'm trying to use the University Program VWF to simulate a simple implementation of the FFT IP core. However, when I attempt to run the simulation I get the following errors relating to the sub-modu...

Hi,

As I understand it, you have some inquiries related to simulating the FFT IP. For your information, generally we would use the Modelsim Intel FPGA Edition to perform the functional simulation of the FFT. You try to perform the simulation through the following:

1. Open FFT IP

2. Go to Generate -> Generate Example Design

3. Open Modelsim and change directory to the fft_ii_0_example_design\simulation_scripts\mentor

4. source the msim_setup.tcl

5. type "ld" to run the compilation

6. Populate the waveforms and then type "run -all"

Please let me know if there is any concern. Thank you.

Best regards,

Chee Pin

    Please could you elaborate on step 4. source the msim_setup.tcl

    What do you mean by 'source' it and how can I do this?

    Thank you very much!
