Once the buried model is built YOU CANNOT SEE THE INPUT VALUES THAT WERE USED TO GENERATE THE BURIED MODEL. This should be stored in the misc output or remain intact somewhere. Typically the base file is not retained and engineers do not list the parameters used on the CII title page or elsewhere. As Michael is getting at is that there is a QA issue in addition to design iteration maintenance issues.
