An IP functional simulation model is a cycle-accurate VHDL or Verilog HDL model
file produced by the Quartus II software. The model allows for fast functional
simulation of IP using industry-standard VHDL and Verilog HDL simulators.
You may only use these models for simulation purposes and expressly not for
synthesis or any other purposes. Using these models for synthesis creates a
nonfunctional design.
To generate an IP functional simulation model for your MegaCore function, follow
these steps:
1. Turn on Generate Simulation Model.
2. Click Next (or the Summary page) to display the summary page .
To generate the files, perform the following steps:
1. On the Summary page, turn on the files you want to generate.
2. To generate the specified files and close the MegaWizard Plug-in Manager, click
3. After you review the generation report, click Exit to close the MegaWizard Plug-In

The generation phase may take several minutes to complete.
The Quartus II IP File (.qip) is a file generated by the MegaWizard interface
or SOPC Builder that contains information about a generated IP core. You
are prompted to add this .qip file to the current Quartus II project at the
time of file generation. In most cases, the .qip file contains all of the
necessary assignments and information required to process the core or
system in the Quartus II compiler. Generally, a single .qip file is generated
for each MegaCore function and for each SOPC Builder system. However,
some more complex SOPC Builder components generate a separate .qip
file, so the system .qip file references the component .qip file.
