Check for parameter tunability information ignored for referenced models
Checks if parameter tunability information is included in the Model Parameter Configuration dialog box.
Description
Simulink software ignores tunability information specified in the Model Parameter Configuration dialog box. This check identifies those models containing parameter tunability information that Simulink software will ignore if the model is referenced by other models.
