It has been a while since I used the Quartus II NativeLink to launch ModelSim as I now do that from within the Sigasi VHDL editor, but I guess that the following also applies:

Once your project has been loaded by ModelSim you can refresh it by issuing the 'restart -f' command. ModelSim will then reload modified files and you can re-run the simulation. Beware that if there is a syntax error ModelSim may/will loose the project and you have to close/relaunch ModelSim. So it makes good sense running the Analysis & Synthesis step to verify your changes first. (in Sigasi the ModelSim compiler is automatically launched on saving a source file)
