Timing Simulation ModelSim / Quartus

Jan 17, 2004 2 Replies

Hi there,



I want to perform a timing simulation with ModelSim SE5.7e from the output generated by Quartus II 3.0. So, I add "mydesign.vho" to my modelsim project and it compiles without any errors or warnings. However, when I try to load the design for simulation (without *.sdo for now) the following is printed out:



# Compile of mydesign.vho was successful. vsim work.mydesign(structure) # vsim work.mydesign(structure) # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../std.standard # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../ieee.std_logic_1164(body) # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../std.textio(body) # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../ieee.vital_timing(body) # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../ieee.vital_primitives(body) # Loading work.atom_pack(body) # Loading work.apex20ke_components # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../ieee.std_logic_arith(body) # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../ieee.std_logic_unsigned(body) # Loading C:/Modeltech_5.7e/win32/../ieee.std_logic_textio(body) # Loading work.mydesign(structure) # Loading work.apex20ke_dpram(vital_dpram_atom) # Loading work.output_delay(v1) # ** Error: (vsim-7) Failed to open VHDL file "A()" in rb mode. # No such file or directory.

Anybody can help?

Parenthesis are not allowed in a VHDL filename. Consider siming your source level before gate level.

Well, there's no file named "A()" ...and I've already done the source level simulation.
