[Quartus & Modelsim-Altera] simulation of altera's megafunction components

--- Quote Start ---

I have generated a pll using the Quartus IP-Core.

I have created a simple testbench which includes the pll.

The project top compiles successfully, However when I launch the RTL simulation tool(Modelsim-Altera)

the modelsim raise an error

alt_pll.v(67): Instantiation of 'altpll' failed. The design unit was not found

At the library panel I can see the library called "altera_mf"

But it seems like modelsim search for libraries only in rtl_work library and not in the pre-compiled libraries of modelsim-altera.

How to set modelsim to load the precompiled libraries ?

Thanks

Try adding following to your vsim command "-L altera_mf" or use the Native link simulation to setup simulation
