Springer Science & Business Media, 20-Sep-2007 ''Link for ModelSim'' is a fast bidirectional co-simulation interface between Simulink and ModelSim. For such designs, MATLAB provides a numerical simulation toolset, while ModelSim provides tools to verify the hardware implementation & timing characteristics of the design.


Language support

ModelSim uses a unified kernel for simulation of all supported languages, and the method of debugging embedded C code is the same as VHDL or Verilog. ModelSim and Questa Sim products enable simulation, verification and debugging for the following languages: *
