ModelSim ENG

Before we start

In the lab class, we need to set up the Linux command line environment, which allows us to use ModelSim.

The command for the environment choices is cad. The command must be entered twice.

To select ModelSim, choose option 2 (Mentor Graphics 2021 EDA version).

Another important note to remember is that ModelSim doesn’t support CTRL+c shortcut.

Starting ModelSim

To start the program you must insert command

vsim &

The & in the end of the command shows that the program is run in the backround and the
promt is returned immediately. It means that to run another process you don’t have
to open a new command line window. You can use & behind every process command.
