   Separate File Name Checked

Description
===========

.. start_description

This rule checks that all packages have the option Separate File Name selected.

.. end_description

Rationale
=========
This ensures that multi-file management settings are homogeneous across a model.
When Separate File Name is checked, each package is saved into its own individual file, facilitating teamwork across a model.

Note that root-level packages always have their own file.
Child packages may be configured to have their own file or share the parent package's file.

Verification
============
This rule verifies each package in the model and ensures its Separate File Name setting is selected.

Resolution
==========
Fix the Separate File Name setting for offending packages.

Customization
=============
