Working with design libraries

ModelSim EE/PLUS Reference Manual Design Libraries

When you click

, Model

Sim

creates the specified library directory and writes

a specially-formatted file named

_info

into that directory. The

_info

file must

remain in the directory to distinguish it as a Model

Sim

library.

Note: It is important to remember that a design library is a special kind of directory; the only way to create

a library is to use the Model

Sim

GUI, or the

vlib

command (p81). Do not create libraries using

UNIX

Windows.

Viewing and deleting library contents

The contents of a design library can be viewed or deleted using the either the

command line or graphic interface.

Viewing and deleting library contents from the command line

Use the

vdir

command (p78) to view the contents of a specified library (the

contents of the

work

library are shown if no library is specified), its syntax is:

vdir -lib <library_name>

Use the

vdel

command (p76) to delete an entire library or a design unit from a

specified library (the design unit is deleted from the

work

library if no library

name is specified), its syntax is:

vdel -lib <library_name> <design_unit>

Viewing and deleting library contents with the graphic interface

Selecting

Library > View Library Contents…

allows you to view the design

units (configurations, modules, packages, entities, and architectures) in the current

library and delete selected design units.
