In the .mdl file,when I used the Testbench model to run modelsim, errers were found in modelsim:  

 

# Reading D:/altera/71/modelsim_ae/tcl/vsim/pref.tcl  

# source tb_mymodel.tcl  

# Loading project DspBuilder 

# vsim -quiet -t {1 ps} work.tb_mymodel_GN2124  

# ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation ******. 

# Error loading design 

# Unrecognized dataset prefix: sim 

 

what's the matter?  

Thanks!

Are you using the same version number for QuartusII and Modelsim?

Was the error line you stated 

 

# ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation  

 

actually  

 

# ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation license? 

 

Looks a bit similar too the normal modelsim failure if your license file is not setup properly. 

 

Have a look here

For info on how to setup the license files and environment variables

I am sorry. Yes,the error is # ** Error: Failure to obtain a VHDL simulation license.  

 

I used the same version number for QuartusII and Modelsim, and its license files and environment variables should be right , I used it before. I will check it too.

Thanks,I solved the problem. My license was incomplete, and I have updated it. Now it's OK.
