Commonly used INI variables

Several of the more commonly used modelsim.ini variables are further explained below.

Environment variables

You can use environment variables in your initialization files. Use a dollar sign ($) before the environment variable name.

Examples

[Library]
work = $HOME/work_lib
test_lib = ./$TESTNUM/work
...
[vsim]
IgnoreNote = $IGNORE_ASSERTS
IgnoreWarning = $IGNORE_ASSERTS
IgnoreError = 0
IgnoreFailure = 0
 

Tip:

There is one environment variable, MODEL_TECH, that you cannot - and should not - set. MODEL_TECH is a special variable set by Model Technology software. Its value is the name of the directory from which the VCOM compiler or VSIM simulator was invoked. MODEL_TECH is used by the other Model Technology tools to find the libraries.
