Getting started with projects

This section describes the four basic steps to working with a project. For a discussion of more advanced project features, see "Customizing project settings" .

Step 1 - Create a new project

This creates a .mpf file and a working library.

Step 2 - Add files to the project

Projects can reference or include HDL source files and any other files you want to associate with the project. You can copy files into the project directory or simply create mappings to files in other locations.

Step 3 - Compile the files

This checks syntax and semantics and creates the pseudo machine code ModelSim uses for simulation.

Step 4 - Simulate a design

This specifies the design unit you want to simulate and opens a structure tab in the workspace.
