Simulation in the next QUARTUS II releases

Hi everybody

I see that from the next release of QUARTUS II the simulator will not be supported and Altera reccomends to use ModelSim.

As far as I know ModelSim is suitable for VERILOG and VHDL designes.

So my question is:

is there a way to simulate AHDL designes with the next release of QUARTUSII?

Any informations is welcome.

you know you could just keep 9.1sp1 around for the AHDL RTL simulation and the VWF editor, and then just bring the .tdf into whatever the future version of Quartus is to do the rest of the project.

again, probably not what you want to do long term, but it provides a transition for you to learn another HDL.

Yes, Marco you are correct Verilog 2001 allows you to declare ports and data types at once. But SystemVerilog has a lot of nice extra features.
