I would like to change ModelSim simulator resolution from ns to ps. I
changed Resolution = ns to Resolution = ps in the modelsim.ini file. For
some reason modelsim doesn't seem to be recognizing this change when I
invoke modelsim (verifed using the report simulator state command). Any
pointers as to why I'm not having success would be very much appreciated.

Jeff

Try doing the setting in the master settings file $MODELTECH/modelsim.ini
Try restarting vsim.

Jeff,

If your project already exists, then you need to edit the <project_name>.mpf
file manually, or change the settings for the current project from the GUI.

Many thanks! That was it...just started using projects recently. Had no idea
that the .mpf file contained ini variables.

Do you have a modelsim "project"? If so, there should be a "project".mpf
file. I think the settings in that file will override those in modelsim.ini

You are at the mercy of the project or ini file settings ... unless
you explicitly declare it on the vsim command line:
vsim -t ps ...

This is the only practical way you can make your tests repeatable in a
multi-designer environment, as each designer will have their own
project or ini file.

Regards,
Allan.

Try putting "100 ps" in Options|Simulation|Default_run
