Simscape issue using "tablelookup"

Hi,

I am building a custom component that makes a call to "tablelookup" with the target values defined as "parameters", the code compiles without error my issue is that the resulting interpolation is wrong. The result appears to be saturated by the selected extrapolation method "nearest" even when the defined inputs are within the defined interpolation matrix. I have tried an alternative method with used "inputs" rather than "parameters" to declare the target inputs and this appears to work fine. I have provided a simplified sample code which replicates my issue. If anyone can see an issue with my approach, guidance would be much appreciated.

component interp_test % Table lookup test

    parameters
        u1 = {0, 'deg'};
        u2 = {0, '1'};
    end

    outputs
        y = {0, '1'};
    end
    parameters (Access = private)
        xd = {[10:10:180], 'deg'};
        yd = {[0.5:0.5:10], '1'};

    equations
            y == tablelookup(xd, yd, zd, u1, u2, interpolation=spline, extrapolation=nearest);
    end

The documentation for 'tablelookup' indicates that for the parameter 'extrapolation', the output value is chosen based on the input value being outside the range. You may have to choose 'interpolation' instead.
