The purpose of this tutorial is to help you become familiar with ModelSim EE,
Model Technology’s HDL-simulation software for UNIX, Microsoft Windows
NT 4.0, and Windows 95/98. Lessons are included that apply to one or more of
the following ModelSim simulators:
• ModelSim EE/VHDL
for VHDL simulation only
• ModelSim EE/VLOG
for Verilog simulation only
• ModelSim EE/LNL
Language-Neutral Licensing - for either VHDL, or Verilog simulation
• ModelSim EE/PLUS
for single language, or mixed VDHL/Verilog simulation
Software versions
This documentation was written to support ModelSim EE/SE 5.3 for UNIX,
Microsoft Windows NT 4.0, and Windows 95/98. If the ModelSim software you
are using is a later release, check the README file that accompanied the
software. Any supplemental information will be there.
Although this document covers both VHDL and Verilog simulation, you will find
it a useful reference even if your design work is limited to a single HDL.
