Assumptions
We assume that you are familiar with the use of the Microsoft Windows operating system. If
this is not the case, we recommend that you work through the tutorials provided with Microsoft
Windows before using Model
Sim
.
We also assume that you have a working knowledge of HDL design. Although Model
Sim
is an
excellent tool to use while learning HDL concepts and practices, this guide is not written to
support that goal.
Additional details for VHDL, Verilog, and mixed VHDL/Verilog simulation can be found in
the
ModelSim PE/PLUS Reference Manual
. See "Where to find our documentation" (p15).
