ModelSim is a verification and simulation tool for VHDL, Verilog, SystemVerilog, SystemC, and mixed-language designs. ModelSim programs and tools are available in /eci/mentor/modeltech/bin on the Linux workstaions in the ECI computing lab and in /ece/mentor/modeltech on the linux workstations in ECE research labs.

Step by step instructions for setting up and running ModelSim on the linux workstations:

Find out which shell you are using.  In a terminal window, type the command "echo $SHELL".

If you are using /bin/csh or /bin/tcsh, run:
% source /eci/mentor/modeltech/etc/modeltech.cshrc

If you are using /bin/bash, run:
% source /eci/mentor/modeltech/etc/modeltech.bashrc

3. Run the vsim binary:
% vsim
