No output while simulation using Waveform Editor

I tried simple circuit using not gate as per below

and I simulated using waveform editor, but there is no output in simulation. Refer below image,

My Quartus Edition: Quartus Prime Lite Edition Ver 21.1.

Please advise.

Attached project I created for your reference.

  • I able to output in the simulation though. With the Modelsim Intel edition set as the EDA Tool Options in Quartus.


    I not sure why you place the waveform4.vwf in the /output_files directory, it made the Quartus cant find the vwf.vt files needed to run simulation.

    Anyhow, I move the files to the same folder with .qpf project files. Open the Waveform editor > Simulation > simulation setting. Click Restore Default and remove the -novopt from the script.

    Save and run functional simulation. Everything runs successfully and the F node output the waveform correctly.


  • I have yet to receive any response from you to the previous question/reply/answer that I have provided but I believed that I have answered your question.

    With that, I will now transition this thread to community support. If you have a new question, feel free to open a new thread to get the support from Intel experts. Otherwise, the community users will continue to help you on this thread. Thank you.

    I have the same problem too:

    No output signal comes using "Run Functional/timing Simulation" inside Simulation Waveform Editor.
    I tried different simulators (Modelsim/Questa) but even if the process terminates successfully without any error, no output is displayed.

      OK I Found the solution by myself:

      1- Instead of removing the "-novopt" from the simulation options try add it with : -suppress 12110
      (e.g: vsim -suppress 12110 -novopt $ elabcommand )

      2- Control that in the folder "C:\intelFPGA_lite\21.1\questa_fse\intel\verilog\cyclonev" (depending from your device) you have a complete write access.
