Import HDL Code for HDL Cosimulation Block with VHDL-2008

Hi,

I need to import a VHDL File with VHDL-2008 for Cosimulation.

I tried in the Cosimulation Wizard in step HDL Compilation:

set compcmd [project compileall -2008]

This doesn't work.

How can I set the compile option VHDL-2008 for Modelsim?

I've used Matlab R2022a and Modelsim DE-64 2021.2

Best regards.

I could not find any way to directly specify the option for the project-based compilation. Instead, one must use the optoins set in the modelsim.ini.

Solution 1 (global):

update your system installation's version of the modelsim.ini to change the VHDL93 setting. This update would apply to all uses of the simulator.

Solution 2 (local):

Utilize a custom modelsim.ini file for the wizard and specify to use it in the project new command. Here's an example of modifying the wizard compilation commands:

Here is the contents of the ini file:

And here is a snippet of the resulting vcom compilation commands:
