vsim does not find modelsim - how do I install modelsim? is it part of matlab installation? where do I finde the correct installation zip-file?

I would like to run a cosimulation but I get the following error:

>> vsim

Error using hdlsim/l_GetModelSimLibInfo (line 527)

Could not find ModelSim executable vsim. Make sure that ModelSim is installed on this

machine and its executables are on the system path.

Error in hdlsim (line 123)

libInfo = l_GetModelSimLibInfo;

Error in vsim (line 110)

hdlsim(pvpairs{:});

so how do I get Modelsim on my windows 10 - Link to download

Add the ModelSim path in windows. The problem could be solved by adding the path in environment variable.

ModelSim is a third-party HDL simulation environment proprietary to Mentor Graphics. Please contact your company's IT department or the vendor for installation files and instructions:

Hello Stefanie,

I was hoping to get more support from Matlab - as this is part of your videos / demos (touted Cosimulation).

Very disappointing for me. In the end I see a MATLAB video that is to 100% not doable for any MATLAB installation.

I am sorry for this bad feedback.

Hello Michael,

I am sorry to hear that. If you feel that any of our videos give the impression that HDL Verifier toolbox comes with an actual HDL simulator, I am happy to forward this feedback to our Marketing team.

yes please at least for FPGA Hardware you usually get on for free. I guess it should not be a full blown version but enough to run your tutorial / video. Thanks

I see what you are referring to. However, HDL Verifier actually requires a "full" HDL simulator. Free versions like Modelsim-Intel Starter Edition won't work with HDL Verifier since a required interface (FLI) is disabled.
