15 years agoHi,
I have used the internal simulator way back at university when deisgns were small and simple, but nowadays definitely prefer Modelsim and a proper test bench above the tedious drawing of waveforms. With designs getting more and more complex, I cannot see how you can properly test (simulate) you designs (or design blocks) by just drawing and looking at waveforms. With a few clicks of the mouse you have a default test bench and with a little typing you have a flexible method to not only produce stimulus, but also to automatically check results. Try testing a video processing pipeline with waveforms... I definitely won't miss it, but please do NOT take away the "free" Altera Modelsim! Regards, Niki
