| Link for ModelSim |   |
Starting ModelSim for Use with MATLAB
Start ModelSim directly from MATLAB by calling the MATLAB function vsim. This function starts and configures the ModelSim
simulator (vsim) for use with the MATLAB feature of the Link for ModelSim.
By default, the function starts the first version of the simulator executable
(vsim.exe) that it finds on the system path (defined by
the path variable), using a temporary DO file that is overwritten
each time ModelSim starts.
You can customize the DO file that starts ModelSim by specifying the
call to vsim with the following property
name\property value pairs:
Notes
The vsim function overrides any options
previously defined by the setupmodelsim function. To start ModelSim from MATLAB with a default configuration
previously defined by setupmodelsim, issue the command !vsim at
the MATLAB command prompt.
|
| To... | Specify... |
|---|
| Include one or more Tcl commands in the DO file that are to execute
after ModelSim launches | 'tclstart', 'tcl_commands', where tcl_commands is
a command string or cell array of command strings, which can include the matlabtb and matlabtbevalModelSim
commands that initialize the simulator for a test bench session (see Initializing the Simulator for a MATLAB Test Bench Session) |
| Start a specific version of the simulator or a version of the simulator
that is not on the system path | 'vsimdir', 'pathname', where pathname identifies
the path and file name for the version of the simulator executable you want
to launch |
| Create a DO file for future reference or use | 'startupfile', 'pathname', where pathname specifies
a path and file name for the generated DO file |
The following example changes the directory location to VHDLproj and
then calls the function vsim. Because
the command line omits the 'vsimdir' and 'startupfile' properties, vsim creates a temporary DO file. The 'tclstart' property
specifies Tcl commands that load and initialize the ModelSim simulator for
test bench instance modsimrand.
cd VHDLproj
vsim('tclstart',...
'vsimmatlab modsimrand; matlabtb modsimrand 10 ns -socket 4449')
