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 tested running your file in Modelsim, I encounter some issue with Modelsim unable to locate some files.

As I look into your msim_setup.tcl, I notice that some of the file directory seems to have some issue. For example, in the following command line,

"$QSYS_SIMDIR/../../../../../../../JWALE0~1/AppData/Local/Temp/alt8376_6957420626840611221.dir/0003_fft_ii_0_gen/src/fft_ii_0_example_design_core_1n1024cos.hex ./"

The .hex file seems to be located at "$QSYS_SIMDIR/../src" and seems like there are additional path ie "../../../...0_gen" added which lead to Modelsim unable to locate the file.

The additional path also occurs for the command lines to compile design files.

Please help to look into why there are additional path added to the command lines?

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

Best regards,

Chee Pin

I can't see where these paths are coming from. After much frustration I've decided to give up trying to use altera-model sim. Maybe I'll try in the future with an older version of Quartus. Thanks for all your help, it is much appreciated.
