hi! 

I use the Quartus II 6.1 in my work 

Ineed to estimate the power of a program implanting on the FPGA (Altera Startix) 

my projet was composed on two parts (software and hardward) so I need the power of tow parts of projet  

when using " poweranalyser tool"in the quartus II I estimate only hardware part 

what can I do? 

thank you

Do you mean the software part is a code for a processor like NIOS II? The synthesis and fitting tool gives you the LUT, I/O and memory consumption of each of your design modules. You can find out the consumption of resources by the processor/microcontroller from the compilation report, feed it in the power calculator and find out the power consumption.
