Loading Libraries in ModelSim

Hello all,

I am using the model sim starter edition 10.3c and am having massive amounts of issues loading in call to the megafunction parallel_add. I have simulated before just this is the first time with preloaded libraries. I used the library import, and put the verilog version of altera_mf.v into my "work" library. The importation wizard tells me this is all that needs to happen. The code compiles but will not "load design" when I attempt to simulate. I've been messing about with all of the library inputs and referencing I could, but the same result kept happening. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

~Simon

    Hello Simon,

    Try following and let us know if it works for you or not.

    You can find precompiled libraries from following location : <Quartus Installation Path>\13.0sp1\modelsim_ase\altera

    To add pre-compiled library,

    (1) On the Simulate menu, click Simulate.

    (2) To specify the ModelSim-Altera precompiled libraries:

    a) Click the Libraries tab.[/INDENT]

    b) In the Search Libraries (-L) box, click Add and select the appropriate libraries.

    c) Click OK.

    To get more idea about adding these libraries, Google should help you.

    Cheers,

    Since you are using modelsim starter edition, I would recommend you to use the native link. As it will auto generate the libraries needed for your design

    Hi all, thanks for the help. What actually was the issue was that I was trying to use the import libraries thinking that was how to link them. What I needed to get the code to simulate was to add a simulation configuration (which you don't necessarily need if you're not linking libraries). Once I made a simulation configuration that had the library search options and the files to include it worked like a charm!

    Thanks,
