Modelsim is one of the best multi-language HDL simulator developed by Mentor Graphics.
Modelsim is essential for simulation of hardware description languages such as VHDL, Verilog and SystemC. Modelsim includes also a powerful C debugger.
ModelSim can be used independently or in conjunction with Altera Quartus or Xilinx ISE/Vivado. The HDL simulation can be performed either using the graphical user interface (GUI) or automatically using TCL/TK scripts.
Hi,all I want to use modelsim with vivado 2017.4, and find that the supported version of modelsim in vivado 2017.4 is 10.6b. So Does anyone know where to download modelsim 10.6b se? Or Is there any solution for me to use modelsim 10.4 in vivado2017.4? I have the modelsim 10.4 installtion package. Model Sim 5.7 (Setup+Crack) Posted by Ahsan Raza on June 16, 2014. Mentor Graphics was the first to combine single kernel simulator (SKS) technology with a unified debug environment for Verilog, VHDL, and SystemC. The combination of industry-leading, native SKS performance with the best integrated debug and analysis environment.
Modelsim runs under FlexLm license and, as you can imagine, a single license is quite expensive for an end user such as a student or hobbyist.
There are two opportunities to get a legal free Modelsim license:
- If you are a student, you can get a free student edition at Mentor website link
- From Altera website, downloading Quartus II web edition. Altera provides a free license limited to Altera FPGA. This means you cannot compile technology libraries of ASIC or FPGA such as Xilinx, Microsemi, but you can compile and simulate you own RTL code.

Software Description:
ModelSim is a tool for simulation andverification for Verilog, VHDL and system Verilog. All the designsare compiled into the library and the user start the new designsimulation in ModelSim by creating a library which is called work.Work is the default library name used by the compiler. Once theworking library is created the next step is to compile the designunits into it. The created library of ModelSim is compatible withall the platforms which means you can simulate your design in anyplatform.
Mentor Graphics was the first to combine single kernel simulator(SKS) technology with a unified debug environment for Verilog,VHDL, and SystemC. The combination of industry-leading, native SKSperformance with the best integrated debug and analysis environmentmake ModelSim the simulator of choice for both ASIC and FPGAdesigns. The bes standards and platform support in the industrymake it easy to adopt in the majority of process and toolflows.
