ADEXL parametric sweep does not work

 I want to run a sweep and have defined a parameter for that purpose. Original instance parameter is 9, sweep goes from 8 to 15. But I always get 9. I don't know why. Any ideas what's wrong?

The parameter is reflected below by the save ocean script:

ocnxlSweepParam("car_c8t_share/CAB_C8T_RWL_DRV_X2_D/schematic/T2/nfin" "{Inclusion List}8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15{Inclusion List}")

 When running the job I get this message:

\o WARNING (ADEXL-1704): Design variable(s) car_c8t_share/CAB_C8T_RWL_DRV_X2_D/schematic/T2.nfin cycle are not used by any tests.
\o Modifying these variable(s) value(s) will have no effect on the simulation. 
\o The run will continue; delete the design variable(s) to avoid seeing this message. 

In the job.log file I see:

\o Lib = car_c8t_share      Cell = CAB_C8T_RWL_DRV_X2_D      View = schematic
\o Inst = T2      Name = nfin      Val = "8"
\o Setting device parameter car_c8t_share/CAB_C8T_RWL_DRV_X2_D/schematic/T2.nfin = "8"
...
\o Setting var DPAR_1 = "9"
 

 I see that the value of 9 is used for all jobs instead of using 8 ... 15

In the input.scs netlist:

parameters DPAR_1=9
...
subckt CAB_C8T_RWL_DRV_X2_D
...
T2 ... nfin=DPAR_1

    Sounds a bit odd. Please report this to customer support.
