ERROR: Dimension _ is fixed on the left-hand side but varies on the right. How to solve this?

Hi!

I am using an embedded Matlab function inside a subsystem mask in Simulink, which is taking from a mask the size of a vector inside the m-function.

I want this signal to has its size fixed for the whole simulation, so I unchecked the tunable checkbox on the mask.

However, when I use this parameter to define the size of the variable I get this error:

 Dimension 2 is fixed on the left-hand side but varies on the right ([3 x 6] ~= [3 x :?]).

If I use a number instead, the simulation works.

How can I use a mask parameter to fix the size of the vector without getting this error?

Many thanks!

Could you also ensure that the parameter "Tunable" checkbox is unchecked on the MATLAB Function block's Ports and Data Manager.

Ahaa! There was another tunable parameter!

Yeah, unchecking this one it is working. But what's the difference between them? Why there are two tunable parameters?

Thanks Kaustubha!
