Thanks very much, Dave. Since I just start so there are some problems which confused me.

I know when we want to simulate a design in ModelSim, we should build a library, but when I run the ModelSim-Altera, there are large amount of built library like "cyclone", ''hardcopyii'', so what are these libraries used for?

Another question is: if I don't call Modelsim-Altera 6.5b from Quartus II, I finished my design in QuartusII firstly, then how can I do timing simulation (Gate level simulation) in ModelSim? Which files are need? I read the short tutorial with ModeSim-Altera, but it seems didn't give an example to do that. When I wrote a testbench with Verilog, should is be a .vo file?

Thanks very much. Have a good day.
