Quartus 18.1 doesnot create .sdo files

I am using a Cyclone 10 LP FPGA for my project along with Quartus 18.1 for design development. I am able to run the functional simulation but I am not able to generate .sdo files for performing Timing simulation.

Can you help me on this?

    Make sure you go to assignement -> Settings -> EDA Tools Simulation -> generate functional simulation netlist -> turn it to on.

    This is wrong, please turn it off then you got .sdo file generated

    The gate level simulation is not supported in V series of device. You can refer to https://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/programmable/us/en/pdfs/literature/hb/qts/qts_qii53025.pdf page 1-2

    Gate-level timing simulation of an entire design can be slow and should be avoided. Gate-level timing simulation is supported only for the Stratix IV and Cyclone IV device families. Use TimeQuest static timing analysis rather than gate-level timing simulation

    Make sure you go to assignement -> Settings -> EDA Tools Simulation -> generate functional simulation netlist -> turn it to on.
