This chapter covers the functions provided by
modelsim.ini,
the system
initialization file, or project file. Each Model
Sim
tool reads
modelsim.ini
when it
is invoked. The file stores information such as the locations of libraries, defaults
for simulator resolution, VSIM startup commands, paths to SmartModels, paths to
user PLI objects, and various simulation control parameters.
