Hi,
I'm trying to simulate a waveform file i've created using File -> New -> University Program VWF. Once i've set up the signals i click on "Run functional simulations and it tries to simulate it with modelsim, and this messages show up:Determining the location of the ModelSim executable...
Using: c:/altera/13.1/modelsim_ase/win32aloem/
To specify a ModelSim executable directory, select: Tools -> Options -> EDA Tool Options
Note: if both ModelSim-Altera and ModelSim executables are available, ModelSim-Altera will be used.
**** Generating the ModelSim Testbench ****

Error.
I don't want to run it with modelsim, i want Quartus II simulator. I've found a tutorial (ftp://ftp.altera.com/up/pub/altera_material/13.0/tutorials/verilog/quartus_ii_simulation.pdf) on Quartus website which says: The Simulation Waveform Editor is able to use either ModelSim or Quartus II Simulator to simulate the circuit using
the drawn waveforms. The simulator can be specified by selecting
Simulation»Options
To use ModelSim as the simulator, ModelSim-Altera must be installed. If ModelSim-Altera is not installed, you must select Quartus II
Simulator instead.
However, I couldn't find options on simulation menu of waveform editor window. Can someone help me?
