Electronic – disable “show base” item in Modelsim for automation

Forget the Verilog preprocessor for this. Put Questa/ModelSim on your path and use a makefile to drive the vlog/vsim commands, run it all from the command line. This works natively on Linux, or Windows if you use Cygwin.

You need to save the waveform/dataset as a .wlf file. To tell Modelsim to capture all signal values in the design you can do a log -r /*. Afterwards you can open up the specific waveform/dataset .wlf either through the GUI or by typing vsim -view <some_name>.wlf in the console. Have a look in the ModelSim/QuestaSim user manual under 'Saving a Simulation to a WLF File'
