The quartus simulator takes the vcd file which was created using traceSignals(). Unfortunately this only works with the top hierarchy level. Therefore the patch described in the Hierarchy Depth Feature Request (http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1837169&group_id=91207&atid=596335 ) must be applied and the traceSignal hierarchy dept then reduced by adding
traceSignals.hierdepth=1
What you finally get from quartus_sim is something like that:
Info: Simulation results from db/VectorCalc.sim.vcd (0 ps to 2.452 us) match expected results from vector source file VectorCalc.vcd
Info: Quartus II Simulator was successful. 0 errors, 2 warnings
