How do I use -novopt with the integrated ModelSim Simulation flow?

Users might see the following error when trying to use ModelSim, prompting them to need to use the -novopt option in ModelsSim:

# FATAL ERROR while loading design
# Error loading design


To work around this issue, use the -novopt switch with ModelSim. This can be set up in Vivado Design Suite using the following Tcl command:

set_property -name modelsim.vsim_more_options -value -novopt -objects [get_filesets sim_1]

The following IP in the 2012.2 tools require the use of the -novopt switch, when using the inegrated behavioral simulation flow with ModelSim:
