Before running the "portable" binaries, ensure you have the necessary 32-bit and 64-bit libraries, which are the most common cause of failure on modern distributions like Ubuntu 24.04. Install Dependencies:

cp -r /opt/mentor/questa_sim/2023.3 /media/usb/mentor/questa_sim/

: Download the .run or .bin installer file. Simulate Portability :

Run the installer and point the installation directory to a dedicated folder within your home directory (e.g., ~/questasim_portable ).
