Open & Compile the Simulation Project

If you have not already sequentially completed the Design Entry, Compilation, and Timing Analysis tutorial modules, you must first open and compile the simulation project before you can begin working in the Simulation tutorial module.

To open the simulation project, follow these steps:

  1. Choose Open Project (File menu). The Open Project dialog box appears.

  2. In the \qdesigns\fir_filter\simulate subdirectory, select the Altera-provided simulate_fir_filter.quartus project file in the Files list.

  3. Click Open.

  4. Choose Start Compilation (Processing menu).

  5. When you receive a message indicating that compilation was successful, click OK.


To continue the tutorial, proceed to Section 1: Create a Waveform File for Simulation.
