Follow Instructions
If possible install at location /opt/modelsim_<version> or /opt/questasim_<version>

Add PATH environment var

The export commands needed to be written into the /etc/profile file in order to survive a reboot path.sh export PATH=$PATH:/opt/modelsim_<version>/modeltech/bin # or export PATH=$PATH:/opt/questasim_<version>/questasim/bin

Fix for Linux Kernel 3.0

Since Linux Kernel 3.0, some script of Modelsim will be broken. To fix this change the following two lines in your vsim sudo nano vsim mode=${MTI_VCO_MODE:-""} TO mode=${MTI_VCO_MODE:-"32"} AND *) vco="linux_rh60" ;; TO *)

vco="linux" ;;

Execute Modelsim / Questa

run.sh vsim
