When launching ModelSim from the Vivado IDE to perform AXI BFM behavioral simulation, the following error is seen:
# ** Error: (vsim-3193) Load of "C:/ProgramsMore/Xilinx/Vivado/2013.4/ids_lite/ISE/lib/nt/libxil_vsim.dll" failed: Bad DLL format.
#
# ** Error: (vsim-PLI-3002) Failed to load PLI object file "C:/ProgramsMore/Xilinx/Vivado/2013.4/ids_lite/ISE/lib/nt/libxil_vsim.dll".

If you use the 32-bit version of ModelSim, the .do file has to point to 32-bit version of the DLL file.set_property MODELSIM.64BIT 0 [current_fileset -simset]
vsim -voptargs="+acc" -t 1ps -pli "C:/Xilinx/Vivado/2013.4/ids_lite/ISE/lib/nt/libxil_vsim.dll" -L unisims_ver -L unimacro_ver -L secureip -lib work cdn_axi_bfm_0 glbl.
After editing the .do file, follow the below process:Set PATH=%PATH%;C:\Xilinx\Vivado\2013.4\ids_lite\ISE\lib\nt3. Launch 32-bit ModelSim from the command prompt.
