Frequently Asked Questions

No. ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition software only supports our gate-level libraries. The ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition software includes the base features of ModelSim* PE, including behavioral simulation, HDL testbenches, and Tcl scripting. However, ModelSim* PE optional features are not supported in the ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition software and the simulation performance of the ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition software is slower than that of the ModelSim* PE/DE software.

ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA starter edition software is the same as ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition software except for two areas. ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA starter edition's simulation performance is lower than ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition's, and has a line limit of 10,000 executable lines compared to the unlimited number of lines allowed in the ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition software.

Yes. Starting with Intel® Quartus® Prime Software v15.0, the ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA edition software supports dual-language simulation. This includes designs that are written in a combination of Verilog, System Verilog, and VHDL languages, also known as mixed HDL.

Contact your local Mentor Graphics sales office to upgrade your ModelSim*-Intel® FPGA software to ModelSim* PE/DE software or Questa* advanced simulator. Contact information is available on the Mentor Graphics website.
