Abstract
A method is disclosed of designing a component system. Primary components of the system are established, the primary components having a desired connectivity. Secondary components are then established for connecting the primary components. A model may be generated connecting the primary components and the secondary components to achieve the desired connectivity. The secondary components may be automatically established and the compatibility of the primary and secondary components may be verified. A computer readable medium and a system for performing the described method are also provided.
