Basically all defaults are set in the vsim section of modelsim .ini 


; vopt flow
; Set to turn on automatic optimization of a design.
; Default is off (pre-6.0 flow without vopt).
; VoptFlow = 1
; Simulator resolution
; Set to fs, ps, ns, us, ms, or sec with optional prefix of 1, 10, or 100.
Resolution = ps
; User time unit for run commands
; Set to default, fs, ps, ns, us, ms, or sec. The default is to use the
; unit specified for Resolution. For example, if Resolution is 100ps,
; then UserTimeUnit defaults to ps.
; Should generally be set to default.
UserTimeUnit = default
; Default run length
RunLength = 100
