1. Change the directory to the work directory containing the example to be simulated.
cd axi4stream-qsys-examples/ex1_back_to_back_sv
2. In a shell, start the Modelsim simulator with the example.do script.
vsim -mvchome $QUARTUS_ROOTDIR/../ip/altera/\
mentor_vip_ae/common -gui -do example.do
Note
For details about the processing performed by the example.do script, refer to the section

ModelSim Example Script Processing
The example.do script described below is contained in the installed Mentor VIP AE directory
location axi4stream/qsys-examples/ex1_back_to_back_sv.
The Mentor VIP AE BFMs for AXI4-Stream are compiled.

The two tcl alias commands dev_com and com compile the required design files. These alias
commands are defined in the msim_setup.tcl simulation script generated by Qsys, along with the
simulation model files.
