ModelSim EE Tutorial Introduction

Assumptions
We assume that you are familiar with the use of your operating system. You
should be familiar with the window management functions of your graphic
interface: either OpenWindows, OSF/Motif, or Microsoft Windows NT/95/98.
We also assume that you have a working knowledge of VHDL and Verilog.
Although Model
Sim
is an excellent tool to use while learning HDL concepts and
practices, this document is not written to support that goal. If you need more
information about HDLs, check out our. "Online References" (p165).
Sections in this document
In addition to this introduction, you will find the following major sections in this
document:
2 - ModelSim EE Graphic Interface (p17)
This chapter describes the graphic interface available while operating VSIM, the Model
Sim
simulator. Model
Sim
’s graphic interface is designed to provide consistency throughout all
operating system environments.
3 - ModelSim EE Lessons (p91)
This is a collection of lessons for ModelSim EE. Lessons are included for all versions of
EE: VHDL, VLOG, and PLUS. The Tcl lesson gives you a chance to create a custom
simulation environment.
A - Technical Support, Updates, and Licensing (p159)
