Abstract

Methods for synthesis of simulation models using functional operators. A method includes parsing a functional model, receiving a functional operator for a function within a simulation component of the functional model, receiving a structural template of the functional operator from a functional operator structural template library, mapping a plurality of functions according to the structural template of the functional operator to update the simulation component, and generating a simulation model with the updated simulation component.
