Usage of bind statement with VHDL DUT

In reply to dave_59:

When I tried to bind instance, its not able to find that instance. I tried binding entity itself like below:

bind ENTITY_NAME ahb_if ahb_if_o( .ENTITY SIGNAL (AHB_IF SIGNAL));

for which I got following error,

Error-[SVA-COBMMI] Can only bind to modules or instances.
Can only bind to modules or module instances.
