ModelSim EE/PLUS Reference Manual ModelSim Command Reference

modelsim

The

modelsim

command

starts the Model

Sim

GUI without prompting you to load

a design. This command is valid only for Windows platforms, and may be invoke

in one of two ways:

• from the DOS prompt, or

• from a Model

Sim

shortcut.

To use

modelsim

arguments with a shortcut, add them to the target line of the

shortcut’s properties. (Arguments work on the DOS command line too, of course.)

The simulator may be invoked from either the MODELSIM prompt after the GUI

starts or from a DO file called by

modelsim

Syntax

modelsim

[-do <macrofile>] [-project <project file>]

Arguments

-do <macrofile>

Specifies the DO file to execute when

modelsim

is invoked. Optional.

Note:

In addition to the macro called by this argument, if a DO file is specified by the STARTUP variable

modelsim.ini,

it will be called when the

vsim

command (p91) is invoked.

-project <project file>

Specifies the

modelsim.ini

file to load for this session. Optional.
