Hi all, 

 

I've a schematic project file (fifo, AND, OR blocks etc) that I would like to simulate to verify my results. I tried using ModelSim but I can't open the schematic file with it. Did i miss something? 

 

Thanks for your help!

I don't think ModelSim supports schematic simulation...

you need to convert the schematic to verilog or VHDL before you can simulate it. You can do it via the file menu: 

 

file -> create/update -> create HDL from current file.

remember that you'll have to re-create the HDL every time you modify the schematic (and then recompile the code in modelsim).
