You can enable Data Log and analyze your signals.  

You can also export file in .vcd format and using modelsim you can convert .vcd into .wlf file and it can be used to analyze your signals.

you can also right click on waveforms window, and then select "generate list file" which is a text file matrix for all signals. 

You better convert all format display to signed integer instead of hex or binary formats (if applicable) beforehand.

In your .stp file go to the File->Export. Export window will appear.Select Value Change Dump file.vcd under Export format and click OK.
