Hi,
I am also seeing similar error when running ModelSim Altera Edition 10.1d on a design developed in Quartus II web edition:
# ** Warning: Design size of 6 instances exceeds ModelSim ALTERA recommended capacity.# This may because you are loading cell libraries which are not recommended with# the ModelSim Altera version. Expect performance to be adversely affected.
Why has it something to do with Quartus II version we are using??
What's the difference of this AE version then from the ASE version? This is frustrating...

Hi,
We also got the same warning when we are trying to compile altera libraries. When we receive this error, it is not just warning, it increases your design execution time as well. ASE-Altera Starter Edition (No License required, Limitation in design size), where as AE-Altera Edition (License required, No Limit in design size). You can find basic differences in this link.
http://www.altera.com/products/software/quartus-ii/modelsim/qts-modelsim-index.html.
However, we get the above warning in both editions when we are trying to compile altera libraries. Please avoid to compile the libraries, instead you can import required libraries using below command.
vsim -t 1ns top -L 220model_ver -L altera_mf_ver -L sgate_ver
ns: time scale
top: top-level module in your design
all others are required libraries according to your design. Here, _ver indicates verilog libraries.
