Simulating with the graphic interface

Assertion settings page
The Assertions page includes these options:
• Break on Assertion
Selects the assertion severity that will stop simulation. Edit the
BreakOnAssertion
(A-263) in the modelsim.ini to set a permanent default.
• Ignore Assertions For
Selects the assertion type to ignore for the current simulation. Multiple
selections are possible. Edit the IgnoreFailure, IgnoreError, IgnoreWarning, or
IgnoreNote
(A-264) variables in the modelsim.ini to set a permanent default.
When an assertion type is ignored, no message will be printed, nor will the
simulation halt (even if break on assertion is set for that type).
Note: Assertions that appear within an instantiation or configuration port map clause or resolution function
will not stop the simulation regardless of the severity level of the assertion.
