Super ContributorYes you have to have tb whenever doing a simulation to verify the functionality of your circuit.

Super ContributorHi,
with university program VWF simulator, the testbench is generated automatically, you can write a simulation waveform with the graphical vwf editor and start the generation process. Or generate it automatically, as described above. It's intended as a replacement for the old built-in Quartus simulator but, as far as I understand, never got a full professional product status. As the "university program" context suggests, it's delivered as is and is somehow experimental.
Having said this, I must confess that I don't know if the vwf simulator flow has issues with recent Quartus + Modelsim versions. It worked for me e.g. with Quartus 13, but I prefer regular Modelsim/Questasim testbenches and never tried vfw simulation method with newer versions.

MR23As I mentioned earlier, I do have access to the Quartus Prime 16 version. It worked for me until last summer. Now it's giving me the same error as Quartus Lite. What would you suggest then? Quartus 13 is not available anymore.
