Simulating altera_gpio outside of quartus

Hi all,

Using Quartus Prime Pro 24.3
Designing for the Arria 10

I have written VHDL source code that utilizes the Intel components dcfifo and altera_gpio.
I am running my own testbench through questa, for which I used quartus to generate the simulation libraries.

dcfifo is easy enough to find in the generated altera_mf library. altera_gpio however, is not.

I have a platform designer design where I have an instance of my module that uses these components. In order to get quartus to recognize the altera_gpio in my source code, I had to create an IP variant of the GPIO IP within the quartus project. This seems to generate some libraries(such as altera_gpio_2210) from files found in the quartus installation files.

These libraries are not included in the generated simulation libraries, and generating simulation files for the GPIO IP in the IP parameter editor doesnt give me a simulation library to point to either.

So my question is, is there a library that contains the altera_gpio?
If not, is there a solution where I can just source the GPIO IP simulation files from my simulation scripts?
Have I misunderstood something?(Highly likely)

Thanks
