1. A method for synthesis of simulation models using functional operators, the method performed by a data processing system and comprising: 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, wherein the functional operator comprises a functional operator type and a functional operator parameter, wherein mapping at least one of the plurality of functions comprises either: simulating an amount of the functions equal to the functional operator parameter mapped using the structural template for a series functional operator, based on the functional operator type of the functional operator received being a series functional operator; or simulating an amount of the functions equal to the functional operator parameter mapped using the structural template for a parallel functional operator, based on the functional operator type of the functional operator received being a parallel functional operator.
