17. The computer-readable medium of claim 13 , wherein to map the plurality of functions comprises: simulating an amount of the functions equal to the functional operator parameter mapped using the structural template for the recursive functional operator, based on the functional operator type of the functional operator received being a recursive functional operator.
13. A non-transitory computer-readable medium encoded with executable instructions that, when executed by at least one processor, cause the at least one processor to carry out a method 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.
