Altera: I want to simulate a design including a schematic in ModelSim, but it's not working.

Category: Simulation
Tools: Quartus® II, ModelSim®
device:-


Since ModelSim is a language simulator, it cannot directly simulate designs that include schematics (BDF files).
Quartus II has a function to convert schematics (BDF files) into a language (Verilog-HDL or VHDL).
You need to convert it first and then run the simulation.

<File Conversion Procedure>

  1. In Quartus II, open the schematic to be converted.
  2. Select File menu ⇒ Create / Update ⇒ Create HDL Design File from Current File.
  3. Select a language (Verilog-HDL or VHDL) and click OK.
