Xcelium PCIONC error on parameterized harness inout

bdiz

Hello,

I am working on parameterized interface signals. In this case, interface signals are connected to the DUT via a bound interface harness. Signals which are not parameterized do not error with Xcelium, only parameterized signals error. Here is the error message:
*E,PCIONC (./testbench.sv,70|28): Expression connected to an 'inout' port must be collapsible.
I've created a simple/public example on edaplayground.com to help demonstrate the scenario and allow others to easily reproduce the error. It can be found here:
https://www.edaplayground.com/x/7MwE
I should note that the other simulators compile/run this code just fine. Please let me know what I can do about this error.
Thank you,
Ben

    Have you tried using the -default_port_array_wire option?
