 This page describes the proceedure for installing the latest version of ModelSim available from the ModelSim website, and compiling the Altera .vhd files that are necessary to create simulation libraries.

 * Install ModelSim.  '''Note''': Altera takes some time to issue libraries that are compatible with the latest version of ModelSim.  By that time, the version of ModelSim they are compatible with is usually no longer available from the ModelSim website.  Therefore, it is in your best interest to store old versions of ModelSim.  To check that Altera has created the libraries that you need to support the version of ModelSim that you are installing, check here:  http://www.altera.com/support/software/nativelink/simulation/modelsim/eda_pro_msimfull_setup.html
