University Program VWF simulation

With my students i use the simple simulation facility but with 25.1 standard version i'm facing a problem. The .do file created uses -novopt parameter to run vsim which is deprecated :  vsim -novop...

    In the Simulation Waveform Editor, Go to Simulation -> Simulation Settings. 
    Next, delete -novopt and Save. 
    The error should resolved when Run Functional Simulation

Unfortunately, there isn’t a way to retain modified simulation settings automatically.
As a workaround, you can save the .vwf file with your updated simulation settings and include it in your project manually.
However, I generally recommend using the Nativelink Simulation Flow, which allows you to view the simulation directly in the Questa simulator tool.

    Thank you for the workaround i will give it a try replacing -novop by -voptargs="+acc"

    Nevertheless it's a bug and i will open a bug ticket about this. There are still a lot of script using this deprecated option.

    I'm using the Nativelink Simulation Flow, with advanced or intermediate students because they know description language and testbench but not with first years students discovering basic logic gate circuits.
