Simulation Model Support

The Quartus^® Prime Standard Edition software includes simulation models for Altera megafunctions, primitives, library of parameterized modules (LPMs), IPFS models, and device family specific models in the <installation path>/eda/sim_lib directory. These models include IEEE encrypted Verilog HDL models for both Verilog HDL and VHDL simulation.

You can use any of the following methods to compile Altera simulation models:

• Use the NativeLink feature to automatically compile required simulation libraries.
• Run the Simulation Library Compiler to compile all required libraries at once.
• Compile Altera simulation models manually with your simulator.
