To perform a functional simulation with the QuestaSim software with command-line commands

Note:

You can use batch files to set up and compile each of the libraries automatically. Place all the commands displayed in the QuestaSim main window into a text file and name the file with a .do extension (that is, <file name>.do). Use this script to recompile the libraries if you update them.

To run a macro script:

From the Mentor Graphics QuestaSim main window, chose Execute Macro.
In the Execute Do File dialog box, locate your QuestaSim macro file (.do).
Click Open.

If you have not already done so, perform Setting Up a QuestaSim Project with Command-Line Commands.

To compile the simulation libraries, VHDL or VerilogHDL design file, and optional test bench file, type the following commands at the QuestaSim prompt:

Map to library work:

vlib lpm   
vlib altera   
vlib sgate   
vmap lpm work   
vmap altera work    
vmap sgate work

For VHDL-87compliant designs:

vcom -work work <path to library>/220pack.vhd  
vcom [-87] -explicit -work work <path to library>/220model_87.vhd  
vcom -work work <path to library>/altera_mf_components.vhd  
vcom -work work <design name>.vhd  
vcom -work work <test bench>.vhd

For VHDL 93-compliant designs:

vcom -93 -work work <path to library>/220pack.vhd  
vcom -explicit -work work<path to library>/  220model.vhd  
vcom -work work <path to library>/ altera_mf_components.vhd  
vcom -93 -work work <path to library>/ altera_mf.vhd  
vcom -work work <design name> .vhd  
vcom -work work <test bench> .vhd

For Verilog HDL designs:

vlog -work work <path to library>/220model.v  
vlog -work work<path to library>/ altera_mf.v  
vlog -work work<design name> .v  
vlog -work work <test bench>    .v

Load the VHDL or VerilogHDL design file or test bench file for the design into the QuestaSim software by typing one of the following commands at the command prompt:
vsim <work library> . <design name>
or
vsim<work library>.<top-level design entity>
Important: Important: If your design contains the alt2gxb megafunction, refer to the alt2gxb Help topic for required settings information.
