ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition (MSSE); ModelSim-Altera Edition (MSAE). The two differences between ModelSim-Altera Starter Edition and ModelSim-Altera Edition are that simulation performance are best with MSAE and with the MSSE you cannot compile more than 10,000 lines of code. There's of course another difference: MSSE is free, MSAE is paid. This video will provide the easiest way to generate a test bench with Altera-Modelsim. You can modify the test bench with VHDL/ Verilog programming in the te.

Fast time to coverage closure

Advanced Code Coverage

ModelSim’s advanced code coverage capabilities provide valuable metrics for systematic verification. Plus, ModelSim’s ease of use lowers the barriers for leveraging verification resources. All coverage information is stored in the highly efficient UCDB database. Coverage results can be viewed interactively, post-simulation, or after a merge of multiple simulation runs.

Mixed language simulation

Download ModelSim-Altera Edition for free. ModelSim-Altera Edition - ModelSim-Altera Edition software is licensed to support designs written in 100 percent VHDL and 100 percent Verilog language and does not support designs that are written in a combination of VHDL and Verilog language, also known as mixed HDL. EDG Quartus/Modelsim Tutorial. This tutorial is for use with the Altera DE-nano boards. There are a number in the eshop. See Mary if you cannot find one. In this tutorial, we will program the DE-nano board, to be a simple 3 bit counter. The leds labelled led1, led2 and led3 will be the outputs. The values will change each time Button1 is pushed.

Mixed HDL Simulation

Comprehensive support of Verilog, SystemVerilog for Design, VHDL, and SystemC provide a solid foundation for single and multi-language design verification environments. An easy-to-use and unified environment provides FPGA designers the advanced capabilities they need for debugging and simulation.

Fast time-to-debug

Intuitive Debug Environment

ModelSim eases the process of finding design defects with an intelligently engineered debug environment that efficiently displays design data for analysis and debug of all hardware description languages. A broad set of intuitive capabilities for Verilog, VHDL and SystemC make it the ideal choice for ASIC and FPGA design.

Modelsim is one of the best multi-language HDL simulator developed by Mentor Graphics.

Modelsim is essential for simulation of hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog and SystemC. Modelsim includes also a powerful C debugger.

ModelSim can be used independently or in conjunction with Altera Quartus or Xilinx ISE/Vivado. The HDL simulation can be performed either using the graphical user interface (GUI) or automatically using TCL/TK scripts.

Modelsim runs under FlexLm license and, as you can imagine, a single license is quite expensive for an end user such as a student or hobbyist.

There are two opportunities to get a legal free Modelsim license:

• If you are a student, you can get a free student edition at Mentor website link
• From Altera website, downloading Quartus II web edition. Altera provides a free license limited to Altera FPGA. This means you cannot compile technology libraries of ASIC or FPGA such as Xilinx, Microsemi, but you can compile and simulate you own RTL code.
