Preference variables located in INI and MPF files
ModelSim Xilinx User’s Manual ModelSim Variables A-259
Preference variables located in INI and MPF files
ModelSim initialization (INI) and project (MPF) files contain control variables
that specify reference library paths, and compiler and simulator settings. When
first created, the MPF project file includes all of the variables from the current
modelsim.ini file plus an additional [Project] section for project-specific variables.
For information on creating ModelSim projects see Chapter 3 - Projects and
system initialization.
The following tables list the variables by section, and in order of their appearance
within the INI/MPF file:
INI and MPF file sections
[Library] library path variables
(A-259)
[vcom] VHDL compiler control variables (A-260)
[vlog] Verilog compiler control variables (A-262)
[vsim] simulator control variables (A-262)
[Project] project file section (MPF files only) (A-266)
[Library] library path variables
