ModelSim EE/PLUS Reference Manual System Initialization/Project File

Usin
g
a startup file
The system initialization file allows you to specify a command or a
do
file that is
to be executed after the design is loaded. For example:
; VSIM Startup command
Startup = do mystartup.do
The line shown above instructs VSIM to execute the commands in the macro file
named
mystartup.do
.
; VSIM Startup command
Startup = run -all
The line shown above instructs VSIM to run until there are no events scheduled.
See the
do
command (p302) for additional information on creating do files.
Turnin
g
off assertion messa
g
es
You can turn off assertion messages from your VHDL code by setting a switch in
the
modelsim.ini
file. This option was added because some utility packages print
a huge number of warnings.
[vsim]
IgnoreNote = 1
IgnoreWarning = 1
IgnoreError = 1
IgnoreFailure = 1
Messages may also be turned off with Tcl variables; see "Simulator control
variables" (p253).
Turnin
g
off warnin
g
s from arithmetic packa
g
es
You can disable warnings from the synopsys and numeric standard packages by
adding the following lines to the [vsim] section of the
modelsim.ini
file.
[vsim]
NumericStdNoWarnings = 1
StdArithNoWarnings = 1
Warnings may also be turned off with Tcl variables; see "Simulator control
variables" (p253).
