Basic VHDL simulation
2-24   ModelSim EE/SE Tutorial
The Load Design dialog box allows you to select the library and the top-level 
design unit to simulate. You can also select the resolution limit for this simulation. 
By default, the following will appear for this simulation run:
• Simulator Resolution: default (the default is 1 ns)
• Library: work
• Design Unit: counter
• Description: entity
Note: If the Design Unit is an entity (like counter in this design) you can click on the plus-box prefix to 
view any associated architectures; see the graphic below.
