I hope this may save others from giving up or spend as many hours as I did.I solved this by pure lock and being stubborn, I don't know much about linux in general so if this don't work for you I can't be of further assistance. The GUI way to change font is still not working, If I open that it shows all fonts as size 12 and if I change any and hit apply or save the fonts are all reset back to 12, I conclude GUI font-setting is defective.ĭoing the work I also found two settings of fontsize 12 in the mgc_style.tcl file close to the end, but they do not seem to have any influence to GUI, properly only used in some tcl command mode.

(Never spend enough time to figure out how to add fonts to ubuntu). font type sans-serif was changed to as fc-list showed that I do not have a font called sans-serif.

textfonfV2 is set to -18 to fix the additional editor unvisible font. INTRODUCTION TO SIMULATION OF VERILOG DESIGNS For Quartus Prime 16.0 The Simulation Waveform Editor tool is available for use with Altera’s Quartus II software version 13.0 or later. The small font was changed in the hidden file /home/peter/.modelsim line PrefDefault where I changed all 12 to 18 or 20. Setup environment variable MODELSIM to point to /home/peter and cp the modelsim.ini from the installation directory to /home/peter then do chmod +w modelsim.ini, second I set variable MODEL_TECH to point /home/peter/intelFPGA/17.1/modelsim_ase/bin this fixed the library problem. I found that beside running above instruction I had to do the following: PATH to modelsim was added by the installation script but other needed environment variables are NOT set as needed. Normally I start Modelsim in the folder where I want/have the work library. Adding time delay to your clock will help. I tried both functional and timing tests. The simulation will not move to the next time step until all operations on the current time step is completed (which is impossible when there is a zero time infinite loop). I ran a simulation based on a waveform file i created in quartus and then i exported the report to a verilog test file (.vt) I loaded the test file into modelsim and ran the vectortest and it didnt succed.

My problems may relate to the fact that I did not install Quartus only Modelsim-altera, but I do not thinks so.Īlso I do not use project files only do files to compile and simulate. forever ckck is a zero time infinite loop. Actually there where two problems, because modelsim did not read in all the standard libraries. It seems this was done inside my company's default configuration for earlier ModelSim versions.Finally after spending a lot of hours I managed to get it fixed. We show how to perform functional and timing simulations of logic circuits implemented by using Quartus II CAD software. One has to set the msgmodeand displaymsgmode options to at least both to have nice message indicators. Using ModelSim to Simulate Logic Circuits in VHDL Designs For Quartus II 14.1 1Introduction This tutorial is a basic introduction to ModelSim, a Mentor Graphics simulation tool for logic circuits. Okay, after yet some more fiddling and twiddling, I finally found it. Ticking any check boxes yields the expected behavior of not printing out to the transcript, but there is still no sign of any messages in the message viewer. I already found Simulate->Runtime Options->Message Severity. Is there any setting that would prevent messages from being logged to the message viewer albeit being printed out to the transcript? I think I might be missing a switch to turn message logging on or something, but hours of Googling have brought up nothing. I start my simulations from within ISE, if that matters. However, there are no messages in the message viewer and there are no message indicators inside the wave window. I ran into trouble using VHDL's assert statement the other day: Errors and warnings are output to the transcript. I'm currently using Modelsim 10.1 alongside ISE 13.4 and run a very simple test bench.
