I spend the whole day downloading, configuring and attempting to run Model Sim. At first, I couldn't get it to link to Xilinx design libraries. I tried every thing I could think of, and everything I could read off the web. Nothing. And since I'm not a paying member, I can't even read their FAQ's. Then, I finally set it up to run under Xilinx ISE, and started my simulation. It ran slooooooooooooow, and the output didn't update as it was running. When I halted the sim so that I could see the output, the tool locked up and I had to restart. I'm going back to Isim, Xilinx's integrated simulate. It worked right out of the box, ran fast, updated the waves window in 'real' time, and didn't hang once, on many sim runs.
ModelSim just plain sucks!
