VHDL has a concept of a library, which is an object that contains compiled design units; libraries are given names so they may be referenced. Verilog designs simulated within ModelSim are compiled into libraries as well. To simulate an

HDL design using ModelSim, you need to know how to create, compile, maintain, and delete design libraries as described in this chapter. For additional information

on ModelSim "Library management commands"
